+1 on Scott's comments.
In this particular case I would not accept because basically it looks
like a tutorial on how to program a proprietary platform. The Lotus
suite uses Eclipse under the covers but in many cases they present
their own metaphors and infrastructure. This is cool as they are
solving their problems their way but I don't see people but coming to
EclipseCon to go on a Lotus course especially when we struggle to
contain the community content.

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:
https://www.eclipsecon.org/submissions/2009/view_talk.php?id=293&
There's this line that's hard to define here and I'm wondering how
other people are handling it.
