That is what I am required to obey each year when selecting talks for

Who is asking you to obey that?
At some time in 2012, when I was organizing the current incarnation of
the devroom for the first time, I was made aware of this requirement. It
made sense to me, I agree with it and it gives me the opportunity for
rejecting (or asking to improve) presentations that would only be
product pitches and that wouldn't fit the spirit of FOSDEM.
This information is important as Dev rooms are entirely self organised and
independent
I surely didn't want to start a discussion about someone violating some
fundamental freedoms of devrooms organizers. A quick search on the site
doesn't reveal anything forbidding non-technical talks. I do remember it
being set as an explicit requirement in 2012, but I don't feel this is
important enough for me to spend time digging in the archives. And
whether it is explicitly stated or not, I still see it as a requirement
that makes sense for a "typical" FOSDEM devroom - not for the one
recently discussed on this list.
Regards,
Andrea.
