@lori @gkrnours So the thing about the Summer of Code ones is that while neither students nor mentors "worked for Google" directly, by participating we still helped them buy goodwill (and in my case, the Haskell community its first "we need to use two major versions in parallel" package management problem).

Sooner or later, some of that stuff shouldn't be campy. That's not actually what's going on with the leather community either, for example: the generation that had that kink imposed in a WW2 context are all dead, as are the original nazis, and the subculture doesn't go in for actual nazi memorabilia.
