Agree with the approach and IMHO it is
consistent with the approach taken for last year’s conference.

[eclipse.org-eclipsecon-program-committee] Process question
If some existing guidelines are
posted, I expect Bjorn can point us to them.
If they’re simply demonstrating a commercial product, a Long Talk is not
the right venue, imho (there are sponsored talks, an exhibit hall, commercial
conferences, etc.). It may be appropriate for a commercial product to be
mentioned (e.g. in the context of an “our experiences building on project
X” talk), but not if it’s going to be a commercial pitch.
Personally, I don’t attend EclipseCon talks expecting to be subjected to
commercial product demos, as I imagine is the case for most attendees. I
also attend EclipseCon to hear about Eclipse and related technologies, not
alternatives. If it’s a comparative talk, that’s fine, but
not if it’s just about the alternative (for similar reasons as for
commercial demos).
Does anyone disagree?
Best,
Rich

Hi Program Committee:
What are the guidelines for Long Talks that sound like they may contain
commercial product demonstrations or that sound like they may be products
positioned as alternatives to Eclipse projects?
