Unfortunately, I have some additional info I think could be interesting for
others.
As far as I understood it, it was planned that the sub-events allow more
fine-grained sponsoring.
I already had two companies that were generally willing to sponsor the FlexJS
summit.
Unfortunately, the LF doesn’t want to allow this type of sponsoring.
One of the companies already said, they would not sponsor ApacheCon in total.
For them the Price tag is too high for an undirected sponsorship. I don’t know
if the other will still be a sponsor, but I guess having the micro-summit as
test-balloon for getting more sponsors won’t work that way :-(
I still hope others can get some additional sponsors on board.

Hi!
I don't think this question has come up on this thread yet, so here it is:
what are our thinking about sponsorship? Right now we have two separate
sponsorship buckets: Bigdata and Core. Do we plan to keep it that way?
Suppose there's somebody interested in sponsoring Apache XXX (where
XXX != Bigdata). Do we make them sponsor Core for now?
Sponsorship is actually something which is decided and managed by the
producer, not by us. So, probably best not to speculate about something we
don't decide.
