I personally think that neither Twitter nor IRC are appropriate for such
discussions. It would be nice if at least an essence of the discussions
is posted here (as you did, Sam :))

+1

From my understanding Cryptoparties are a decentralised movement. So if
I decide to do a Cryptoparty whereever I want it, I can do so. Also if
someone decides to make a Cryptoparty and takes money from whoever there
is nothing you/we can do against.

However I would propose that we make a clear statement that a
Cryptoparty is non-commercial (exists already) and maybe explain that in
the past there were offers from companies and why it is a good idea to
reject it.
