+1 for asking  Zach. He was supposed to speak last year but had to cancel at the last minute for personal reasons.

 

For twitter, I was thinking of Adam Messinger the VP of Engineering.  I can ask Chris.

 

IF anyone disagrees with asking github and twitter, please speak up now or we will approach them tomorrow.

 

Btw, Jeff Norris confirmed he is interested but needs to check on availability.

I would be happy to ask Zach Holman, he is an amazing speaker.

 

Someone from Twitter (or Square) would be great too, I agree reaching out to Chris would be helpful in that search.

I have to say I'm really warming up to the 25-30 minute keynote idea. It must be the influence of TED, but browsing around looking for good talks in the past month, I have hardly seen a single talk longer than 30 minutes, and 20 minutes is much more common.

What if we asked github and twitter to each do a 30 minute keynote on how the build software?

GitHub would certainly be good. They're a pretty exciting place these days.
 
Another place to look might be twitter. They are doing some pretty cool things with large scale deployments of the JVM and integrating a Web, Mobile and Desktop strategy. I don't think we should get Chris (that would be a little to insular), but he might be able to help us get in contact with someone else.
 
cheers,
ian

Another idea... having someone from GitHub talking about their development process. I was reading this week about how they are shipping new versions of a Windows application roughly every 5 days. A lot of developers would really love to know how they do that ;)

[eclipsecon-na-program-committee] keynote update


 

 




A brief update on the keynotes:
 
-          Rob Pike declined

-          Tim Berners-Lee did not respond

-          Jeff Norris did not respond

-          Kevlin Henny was already booked

 
I will ping Jeff again but we do need to generate some more ideas.

 
Ian
