We've done talk slots for sponsors before. On the conditions you mentioned (i.e. they need to be about a FLOSS contribution, relevant to the attendees and not advertising) that was deemed o.k. in the past. > - The sponsor must be tier bronze or higher Bronze is really low, we did this for Gold or Platinum in the past. You'd have ~25 or so potential talks otherwise, that's ... a lot. Yes, not everybody will ask for it but you asked on -team and that is a public mailing-list, so you can assume people will find out.
