Re: [eclipsecon-na-program-committee] keynote suggestions

[John Arthorne <John_Arthorne@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thinking more about it, I really like your
suggestion on a speaker about open source and government. It would be different
from the usual EclipseCon content, but given the potential attendee base
in the D.C area, it might help attract more local people to the conference.
Perhaps a past keynote from GOSCON could be roped in, or someone like Alexander
B. Howard who is tapped into that community. There seems to be a growing
interesting in "open data" in governments, and encouraging mobile/web
application development to tap into that data (opengovernmentdata.org,
data.gov, www.data.gc.ca,
etc). I think this has potential for interest to a wide variety of Eclipse
projects, including runtimes, modeling, data tools, and language tools.
