Why did you not ask for the payment first before printing the logo on everything?

  I'd guess this is the first time this has happened. Don't be mad at t3chfest for trusting couchbase, be mad at couchbase for breaking trust.

    Little quick for the blame game, how about you try and find out why Couchbase withdrew their sponsorship in the first place

      How about you? Are you suggesting the Tech fest Twitter account is lying, impersonated, or hacked?

        Are you?

          Couchbase confessed. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34959458 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34959458

      Are you suggesting it’s any other reason than Couchbase didn’t want to pay for the sponsorship anymore? Is there a statement from Couchbase about this? If not I’ll err on the side of trusting the conference over them and effectively blame them.

          Thanks, taking that reply at face value means I'm wrong that it was only about money. It is still a pretty shitty thing to do at the 11th hour, there are many better ways Couchbase could have approached this.

      Regardless of the reason for it, this is a dick move. How you think it's acceptable to withdraw sponsorship in this timeframe baffles me.
