I wouldn't concentrate in military but in advertisment. And from a more practical point of view, time is scarce during the event and if there have to be advertisment talks we should know in advance to use our time wisely.<div>

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">Dear All,<br>
<br>
As you doubtless are aware, Andrew (Lunn, I believe) attended WBMv4 as<br>
an employee of ASCOM, a company that works as a defence contractor for<br>
various armies. What is more, he gave a talk in which he openly<br>
advertised military applications of mesh networking, as well as his<br>
company.<br>
<br>
I believe this to have been highly inappropriate. By not interrupting<br>
Andrew during his talk, we have all condoned his actions.<br>
<br>
I would like to suggest that advertising for military companies should<br>
not be allowed at future battlemeshes. Should, notwithstanding my<br>
suggestion, vendors of military technology be invited to give talks<br>
about military technology at WBMv4 in the future, I hereby request that<br>
we should be warned of that fact sufficiently in advance to decide<br>
whether to attend notwithstanding or not.<br>
<br>
--Juliusz<br>
