I think Martin Odersky talking about Scala would be interesting and
technical. You might also consider someone like Grady Booch, who
I hear is a very good speaker. fwiw, we once asked Werner Vogels to talk at EclipseCon Santa Clara. He delegated to someone on his team and the presentation turned out to be a not-so-great product pitch for AWS. On 5/17/2011 7:47 AM, Bernd Kolb wrote: Martin sounds definitely interesting. Can you please add him to the wiki? The problem with keynotes is typically that it is hard to find good ones which do not cost (much) money. Thus we need to think early about them. Another one which just came to my mind ist Werner Vogels, CTO of Amazon. He could probably say some interesting things about cloud computing. (Although we had that as a topic last year). For me a keynote can be out of our typical boxes. So if it has nothing to do with Eclipse (or even IT) it still might be a good keynote. It should be something people remember (in a positive way ;-)) and can think about for a few hours. Best regards, Bernd 2011/5/17 Alexander Neumann <ane@xxxxx>:Hi Bernd, Very difficult to find someone. The last keynotes held by "famous" people I have seen were too disappointed (Martin Fowler, Robert C. Martin at OOP for example). The good keynotes I've seen the last years were at Eclipse Summit ;-) I normally would prefer listening to David Anderson, the Kanban founder. But he's too focused on his topic, an Kanban isn't a Eclipse thing. Maybe Martin Odersky could be interesting for a technical talk. He has made some experiences in improving the Scala Eclipse IDE.

In general he would be interested http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kl_V-UpcSPQ http://www.cosalux.de/ Both are rather none-technical. I am looking forward to your proposals Best regards, Bernd _______________________________________________ eclipse.org-eclipsecon-program-committee mailing list eclipse.org-eclipsecon-program-committee@xxxxxxxxxxx https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/eclipse.org-eclipsecon-program-committee_______________________________________________ eclipse.org-eclipsecon-program-committee mailing list eclipse.org-eclipsecon-program-committee@xxxxxxxxxxx https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/eclipse.org-eclipsecon-program-committee_______________________________________________ eclipse.org-eclipsecon-program-committee mailing list eclipse.org-eclipsecon-program-committee@xxxxxxxxxxx https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/eclipse.org-eclipsecon-program-committee --
