On the panel discussion at Dconf day 3

[A.Guy]

During the last day's panel discussion at the Dconf, the presence 
of the Ucora marketing representative was truly in poor taste. 
Not to mention the fact that he was given so much speaking time 
amid various technical questions. Upon reviewing the video on 
YouTube, it feels like we're watching interspersed advertisements.

If IVY were indeed something serious, perhaps it wouldn't need 
all this publicity, and instead of having the Ucora 
representative speak, we could have received substantial details 
from Walter or Atila (not just the "it made me realize I should 
listen to the contributors and not mind my own business..." 
comment). It seems like there's a lot of fluff and excessive 
promotion of their IVY program, all of this happening in the 
midst of the only Dlang event that has some level of presence and 
media attention. As a spectator, I simply felt embarrassed.
