I culled together a brief list of past sponsors based solely on the wiki pages available from 2007 and 2006. Were there any others? I know the 07 list was unofficial and there wasn't one up for 08.
- ATI - Canon - Epson - Google - HP - IBM - Intel - Xerox - Xara - O'Reilly - Eyrolles - FSF - Grafika - Société des arts technologiques (SAT) - CPE.fr - Aldil.org - Flock - GNOME - gnulinuxmag.com I would add Nvidia to that list, possibly Logitech or Wacom, too -- depending on what the success rate was with the other hardware vendors. Other suggestions? The distros, perhaps?
