A few days ago on IRC I said that I'd had second thoughts about clogging up the LP with logos, and that one line of main project partners and another for 'as featured in' might be more appropriate.

"What do you mean by "platforms which aren't OS"?"

It would be a shame to have to pass the community off onto platforms which aren't OS. Coding and post production are quite polarised disciplines unfortunately.

Well I'm going to give it a dedicated Twitter account. It's not quite ready yet but it'll start on just under a thousand followers. The problem with that from your perspective is that it's comprised of what you'd deem to be end-users - film makers. They aren't coders.

OpenCine gets a huge amount of interest in outbound promo you know, as in, unusually high interest.

The clay is a great idea. An owner won't want to start slapping clay onto the camera so one good way of creating a foundation for doing that would be to emulate what Wooden Camera does. Once form factor specs are final he creates the camera body with wood. It's a gimick essentially, but because the Beta is relatively box shaped this won't be all that difficult for a user to accomplish, and any differentiating between the outer form factor and the inner clay mould could be fine tuned in-house.

But this tactic would do three things at the same time. It would generate some funding, give sponsors something back, and it also encourages other firms to contribute alongside counterparts.

If you're anything like me then you're probably not overly keen on commercialisation. Advertising can be pretty vulgar let's face it. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that I'm averse to advertising. However, and from what I've picked up so far, funding for development is sorely needed. At this stage some advertising is probably a good strategy.
