Reposting my question/comment here since Thilo hasn't had a chance to
respond, but shouldn't these kinds of requests go through the GA? If
anybody can do whatever they want with the ffmpeg name, then what's the
point of voting and following the established process?

I think this is the underlying problem with booth management, everybody
acts like they own the place, and nothing changes from one event to
another, instead of taking notes to improve the situation. For example :
thilo or you sending a note to the GA "hey i got sponsorship for
IBC/NAB/whatever, I plan to represent ffmpeg, and have a b c as objectives.
Is that cool with you all? If yes, can we host GPAC and other multimedia
foss projects?" would have avoided a lot of drama.
