For some reason I thought the Agile ALM track was going to be more open to
submissions talking about products as long as they were deemed to be
technical in content and not simply a product pitch.

John,
There are really good and I think useful responses.
I would add for
http://www.eclipsecon.org/2012/sessions/agile-and-collaborative-development-mobile-apps
the following:
We try to avoid submissions that focused on product demos. This
submissions was seemed to be more focused on demoing Rational Team Concert.

This was a good proposal and just barely missed the cut off. There
was also a desire on the PC to cut down on "What's new" talks because
they are often not exciting and people can get similar information
from other sources such as New & Noteworthy. Also because Java 7 is
no longer new, and Java 8 is still far off, there won't be as much
buzz about Java as last year. This will likely be a hotter topic
again in 2013.

We could only accept a very small number of tutorials this year (10)
and again this barely didn't make it. Out of the declined tutorials
it had the second highest ranking, so if we had a couple more
tutorial slots it probably would have made it. One down-side is that
this is quite an advanced topic, because not a lot of people need to
extend JDT, and ObjectTeams customization is even more specialized.
By contrast the CDT submitted a more introductory "hands on with CDT"
tutorial this is very popular with a wide audience. Tutorials
generally work better for an introductory audience, so that is
something to consider for future years.

This was in Agile/ALM, so no comment.

This had a fairly high rating, but there was another submission that
was very similar. To avoid duplication we only accepted one of them (

).
