Question about presentation at Jupyter Community Forum about isabela-pf HOT 2 CLOSED

Hey there! This is a great question!

I haven't found any formal guidelines for this from prior hosts, but we've definitely had shares about open-source projects that are tied commercial services in some way in the past. Basically, I think that's more than okay as a topic.

Some rough guidelines:

• I'd rather not have it feel like an advertisement (which you don't want either, if I'm reading your comment correctly) in the sense that paid elements are the sole or main focus of the share.
• I'd be honest and upfront about the commercial relationship. Depending on your case, that could be as simple as saying the name of the company you're presenting on behalf of to saying that there are paid features on the project. As long as no one feels like it's hidden, I think we're on the right track.
• Since you're looking for feedback, you may want to be clear how the feedback will be used and/or who else will be hearing this feedback if relevant. This is of course a public and recorded call, but I still think it's a good practice.

I will say that, in my experience, as soon as people share something all the other attendees will be asking for a public link to go explore more. So while I don't think it's a requirement for there to be a public repo, having some way for people to interact with what they've been shown is an unofficial expectation of the audience. If you want to share before the repo is public, just know people may ask if/when it will be.

Thanks so much for checking in; it means a lot! Let me know if you have any other questions.
