That depends on how you present it I guess. If you spend the entire talk saying how great OGD1 is and why people would want to buy it then I'd say it would qualify as a sales pitch. If you talked about the community, how it is organised (including the relationship with TT), and what plans we have, then I suppose it won't be a problem if you mention OGD1, the problem it intends to solve, and its features. Free software can also be turned into a product, so if merely talking about something that could be sold would be a problem, there probably wouldn't be any presentations at all :-). Lourens
