I would be very much against advertising for-profit products for free on PHP.net disguised as "community news". If we do that I see no reason why should conferences be the only commercial product that is granted free ad space, as I do honestly think that a release of say new Zend Studio or other development environment has bigger community relevance, than a "call for papers" that is relevant for a couple dozen people at most.
