What about asking Tim O'Reilly to talk about open data and open
government? On 8/29/2011 10:38 AM, John Arthorne wrote: 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.
