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.

I actually disagree with this. As long as everyone (for- and non-profit) is given equal access, the announcement is about a product that is directly related to PHP and these announcements do not overwhelm the other php.netnews, I think everyone would benefit from them. And once again, my statistics show that conferences are relevant to a lot more than a dozen people. Marco Edin
