| Re: [eclipse.org-eclipsecon-program-committee] Keynote idea: Amazon inside |
I haven't contacted Amazon yet. however they will ask if we would be fine with someone else. in this case i would letthem know that we would want Werner. My feeling is that Simon's proposal wouldn't end as a pitch because the guy is working in a very different domain.
btw: i will be on vacation from today until Sunday 19th with limited connectivity. in urgent cases please give me a call: +49 163 7321605
regards Bernd
