Actually, I'd argue that it's commercial. That was what I had in mind
when I drafted the rules. For one thing, like the tools SW makers, EDB
tends to bury us under press releases and need reigning in, in a way
that OSS projects generally don't.

Well, we need to draw some line for PostgreSQL content. A 200-session
conference with one session which covers using PHP with PostgreSQL
alongside MySQL and DB2 really shouldn't go on the site. Maybe we
should just re-write that as "significant PostgreSQL content" and leave
it up to WWW what "significant" is?

Sure. Mind you, they usually do. We haven't had a problem with
trainers not providing enough content, just posting too frequently.

BTW, have we fixed the training events so that they stop displaying once
they start?
