Chris,

My $.02 is that we have to take it on a case by case basis.  If my spider sense tells me that the talk is just going to be a commercial trying to entice you into buying a product "thanks but no thanks."

On the other hand, a lessons learned on the creation of a commercial product based on Eclipse?  That may be interesting.  I would want to know a bit more, will they share actual code?  Will an attendee be able to use the information presented without having to purchase commercial software?  In that case I have no problem with commercial product.

In terms of the talk in question, it does not look like there are any commercial expectations.  It looks like the goal is to teach people about how to do Lotus development using the Eclipse platform.  Whether this is valuable, or if Ronni is the appropriate person to present the material is a different issue.

Howdy fellow EclipseCon PC members. Do we have a policy of how we are going to handle talks that are product-specific? For example, I see talks like this:

There's this line that's hard to define here and I'm wondering how other people are handling it.
