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

[John Arthorne <John_Arthorne@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Someone recently suggested to me Luis Von
Ahn:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luis_von_Ahn

He's a big crowdsourcing guy, and we
might be able to connect some of his work to open source communities. I
read a bio of him that said one of his interests was "encouraging
people to do work for free"
which we could use more of in the Eclipse community ;) Also his recent
web translation project sounds like some areas of Eclipse such as Babel
translation, and crowd-sourcing doc with wikidoc.
