Reminder: This is a vendor-neutral community event — no product or vendor sales pitches. Avoid sales or marketing pitches and discussing unlicensed or potentially closed-source technologies when preparing your proposal; these talks will not be accepted due to the fact that they take away from the integrity of our events, and are rarely well-received by conference attendees.
