Hi folks,

 

Mitchell has declined and suggested Mike Shaver (see below).  I found a very bad video of someone who taped him at a Mozilla conference:

I found a lot of videos of guys named Mike shaving.  WTF?

 

I recommend we go with Sam Ramji.  I think Mitchell was more compelling that Mike is.  Please comment.

 

Doug

 

 

Mike and Doug:

Thank you for the invitation.  I'm pretty sure that Mike Shaver is the person you want.  Mike can speak to our overall goals -- the Open Web and Mozilla identity in a much more precise technical context than I can.  Mike is also more tied in with the Mozilla-related work going on within Eclipse.  So your audience will get a fuller picture if Mike is the speaker.   Mike is now our Chief Evangelist and so brings both personal and organizational stature.   I know Mike would be interested, may I forward this opportunity to him?

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.
