Actually, I did reach out earlier this week through his PR team.  I am not holding my breath.  My working assumption was that if he actually confirmed we could work something out in the schedule ;)

 

I also bought a lottery ticket.

 

Will let you know both outcomes.

In the interest of fairness to the real Steve Jobs do we want to extend him an invitation?

With 88% of the precincts reporting, I am declaring the following landslide winners:

 

Fake Steve Jobs (13 to 2)

Mitchell Baker (13 to 1)

Cory Doctorow (11 to 3)

 

Mitchell and Cory have been contacted, and we are awaiting a response.  Our budget may change the results.

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.

 

Doug

To be honest, I would be happy with either. You guys make the call.

 

I do know Mitchell well enough to ask her. Do you want me to go ahead and do that?

So is the preference to pursue Mitchell instead of Sam Ramji from Microsoft?

 

Mike M – do you have an opinion?  Can to contact her to asses interest and cost (free, please) ?

Hi,

 

Just another idea - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitchell_Baker

 

If available, her content would obviously be a great fit.

You can see her here:

IF there is interest, we can ask Mike to contact her.
