OpenWorld, no call for papers?

I was told that Oracle did not do any sort of "call for
papers" for Openworld this year. Here's a quote from an
email a friend just received on this point:

>>2.    Speaking Opportunities, please be informed that in an attempt to
>>better streamline content for our conference, Oracle OpenWorld has 
>>discontinued doing an open call for papers. Specific customers and partners 
>>will be targetted to present on selected Industry, Product and Technology 
>>tracks. Oracle User Groups may also be soliciting papers from their 
>>members for our events. Please check their websites for updates.

I'm surprised. Translated, I think this means we're in for a
lot of marketing-type presentations, which I guess is often
the case anyway. Does anyone know why Oracle has changed
their tack this year?
