Folks,

 

To be clear, here is the current lineup options:

 

Day 1 – Humorous

 

(1a) Fake Steve Jobs – contacted, available, $15-$20k – Doug has started negotiations

(1b) Joel again

 

Day 2 – Open Source

 

(2a) Sam Ramji – contacted, available, no $

(2b) Mitchell Baker – Mike to contact

 

Day 3 – Technical

 

(3a) Cory Doctorow – *see below

(3b) Martin Fowler –John to contact

 

*Bjorn’s comment on Cory: “He's more relevant than Scott Adams and a better speaker too. He's interested in openness, copyright, open source, etc. He's technologically knowledgeable, he even writes code himself, although he's primarily an author. He doesn't know the Eclipse code base.”

Please vote on preference ASAP.
