I didn't feel any critique. I was concerned I'd made a mistake!

There are not currently any corporate sponsors listed for Oakland. However, I am sure that they're going to be looking for them, especially to provide food/prizes.

One thing we could do is say that we will donate the space and be a sponsor (via donating space) on the terms that other sponsors of the hackathon fit our values.

I'm not anti-NASA. I love space! And I wasn't meaning to direct any critique towards you, at all, Ryan!

Just wanna be clear about / prepared for whatever kind of messaging will be present (and if there are no corporate sponsors for Oakland, then I personally feel less concerned.

There aren't any corporate sponsors for Oakland yet. All of the corporate sponsors listed are for other instances of this hackathon.

The primary global sponsor/collaborator is NASA. I didn't think we were so anti government that we'd be anti-NASA. If that's the case, mea culpa, and I can ask them to find another space.

Hey!

I just checked out the list of collaborators for the SpaceApps Challenge and wondering if people think it might be a good thing to think about some ways we can reassert our values / subvert some of the gov / corporate messaging that might be present...
