Right now, we discourage product-specific talks at meetups or WordCamps. Even though most people use WordPress through these products. However, I think if a company is engaged with the community at the Global Sponsor level, which right now is 180k/yr (but will probably be more in the future), their product should be fair game for meetups and WordCamp talk topics. If they’re selected as a Global Sponsor, it means they’re in good standing in the community and that their investment reflects their importance to WordPress users. Let’s make sure that the folks screening talk submissions understand this.
