It's really not off-topic. It's about agreements that are made on behalf of
the project without consulting the community, which is what appears to be
happening between SPI and STF as well.

There is currently a booth registered under the FFmpeg name:
https://nab24.mapyourshow.com/8_0/exhview/?hallID=W&selectedBooth=W4232

Currently it has the following address associated to FFmpeg:
Bergemannweg 20
Berlin 13503
Germany

Who does this address belong to?

Who will be paying the construction costs, graphics, furniture costs, etc
for this booth?
Who will be staffing the booth?

Derek and I have asked this question several times now and received no
response.

We love transparency in this project, right?
