Hi Bert, We are following the mailing list guidelines to the best of our knowledge (e.g. http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/R-development-master-class-NYC-Dec-12-13-td4037031.html#a4038699). It's our belief (as shared by others) that advertising our courses falls under the general aegis of helping people learn R.
Our goal is for RStudio to be a net positive to R the community. We support the R foundation, R user groups, do a lot of teaching for free, and develop a lot of open-source software like the RStudio IDE, shiny, ggplot2 and devtools. Public courses help fuel our development and hence benefit the R community.
