Sponsoring Gnomedex »

It seems that Microsoft is somewhat monopolizing the sponsorships. Not only are they a banner sponsor, with their name up top on a huge banner in front, but they are listed again on the banner as "Windows XP", "MSN Search", "Windows Marketplace", "Microsoft". Two other initiatives, "Playsforsure" and "The Hive". The latter doesn't really appear to be a "sponsor", as they aren't listed on the banner, but they are passing out hats and t-shirts, and they show up on the screen quite a bit. So it looks like Microsoft is interested in spending a bit of money in this space.
