I see the Cisco logo once, Cisco mentioned one other time, and Cisco DevNet 
mentioned one other time, on the event details page.   This is similar to the 
presentation of the Google and Time Warner logos on the meeting page.   I don't 
work for Cisco, and indeed the company I work for used to count Cisco as one of 
our major competitors, yet I do not find the "corporate marketing" for this 
event objectionable.

I hate to extend this conversation, because I think it's incredibly weird how 
much opprobrium has been expressed, but can you explain precisely what it is 
that you object to about the supposed corporate marketing of which you speak?
