It's not okay for the Tinkerpop project, and it's not okay to discuss this on the dev list. If you, as an individual, want to make that phone call, fine, but as a project, Tinkerpop must be completely vendor neutral. Companies cannot - I repeat cannot - collaborate with a project. They can sponsor items (without their branding on), and they can pay devs to program as *independent individuals* (provided they gain the merit for this), but companies themselves cannot contribute to an ASF project and likewise, the ASF cannot contribute to or collaborate with companies. With regards, Daniel.
