It is always interesting to see, which company is the first sponsor of the Meeting C++ conference. While for a lot of sponsors the decision is easy, often it includes some internal processes that aren't that fast. Plus that some people might still be just arriving from their easter holiday today just to see Meeting C++ 2016 announced.
