Re: TypeSafe, I was thinking of the Reactive Platform [1]. If we asked  Martin Odersky or Jonas Bonér and they re-directed to another engineer, would we be happy with that? Does anybody know either of these two?

[1] http://typesafe.com/platform

Also, I completely missed the most voted for topic (Build tools in the web space). So that makes 6, which I think is good. If I don't hear any volunteers I'll start assigning people to look for the right speaker in each case. John and I are currently looking at Docker. 

Cheers,

Ian

Just to be clear, Typesafe is a company. I believe we want a presentation on Scala, Play or Akka?

Subject: [eclipsecon-na-program-committee] Invited Speaker Ideas and another Keynote suggestion

 

Thank-you everyone who voted on the invited speaker list. Here are the Top 5:

1. Java 8
2. Docker
3. Node.js
4. Typesafe
5. Tim Bray

Can we get some volunteers to find the best speakers in each category (BTW, Tim Bray is 

probably the best speaker in the Tim Bray category ;). And then reach out to them.

 

I will volunteer to try the folks at Docker.

 

Also, what do people think about Gail Murphy as a keynote [1]. For those that don't know her, she 

is a processor at UBC and runs the Software Practices Lab. She is also a founder of

Tasktop, which means at least two people here currently work for her. She might bring an 

interesting mix between academics and industry.

 

The one knock is that Mik gave a keynote a few years ago, although I imagine

her's would be much different.

 

Cheers,

Ian
