May, I for example, have 20% of over the fold space on bitcoin.org homepage for Bitcoin Magazine prmotions? Pretty please? </sarcasm> Kind Regard, Vladimir Marchenko.

ACK on removing outdated material Vladimir does raise a fair point, though. Hackathon seems appropriate for bitcoin.org as it is focused on dev-related activities. (full disclosure: speaking at bitcoin2012.com) The conference might or might not be. The conference does seem community focused, so I don't object to it being on bitcoin.org... But if consensus prefers otherwise, that's OK too. PS. This seems like material for pull requests, which is preferred over mailing list email + git push. When working on the satoshi client, we all ACK each other's pull req for anything beyond the trivial. -- Jeff Garzik exMULTI, Inc. jgarzik@exmulti•com ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

How often do devs use the site, compared to GitHub etc? Someone else made a pullreq for Bitcoin Magazine; I suggest(ed) that for-profit organizations should be asked to pitch in some way or another. Who should organize that, I don't know. If Bitcoin Consultancy/Amir is behind the conference, I suggest their/his development contributions should be sufficient in that respect. > PS.

FYI we lost money on last year's conference, and are hoping to break even this year. The only people to make profit will be nefario and anyone else we give a share in it (people who help realise it). Otherwise money made goes towards next year's conference and paying for things to make a better conference (like Gavin wanted to attend but couldn't afford a ticket). It is not a commercial event, and I've been pushing to keep the sponsorship and community parts highly separated. Like I really do not wish to sell a speaker slot, but if I have to (to pay the bills) then it will be obvious due to scheduling and disclaimers that speakers are sponsors. ----- Original Message ----- From: Luke-Jr <luke@dashjr•org> To: bitcoin-development@lists•sourceforge.net Cc: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@exmulti•com>; Amir Taaki <zgenjix@yahoo•com> Sent: Tuesday, July 17, 2012 2:09 AM Subject: Re: [Bitcoin-development] bitcoin.org - remove hackathon On Monday, July 16, 2012 11:47:02 PM Jeff Garzik wrote: > Vladimir does raise a fair point, though.

If they have somewhat relevant topics they keep the event from becoming a "circlejerk". for example i would really like to hear about payments innovation outside bitcoin. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

There's a very good reason why Wikipedia does not have advertisements. That is, the fear of advertisers influence on the neutral content. It is inevitably a corrupting influence. I want a good fun conference like the hackathon we just held. ----- Original Message ----- From: Andreas Petersson <andreas@petersson•at> To: bitcoin-development@lists•sourceforge.net Cc: Sent: Tuesday, July 17, 2012 11:25 AM Subject: Re: [Bitcoin-development] bitcoin.org - remove hackathon Am 17.07.2012 11:17, schrieb Amir Taaki: > Like I really do not wish to sell a speaker slot, but if I have to (to pay the bills) then it will be obvious due to scheduling and disclaimers that speakers are sponsors. > > Personally, i really don't mind sponsored speakers.
