[Eg-oversight-board] Keynote speakers

[Borger, Shauna]

Hello everyone,

After contacting speakers suggested by the oversight board (and many more besides), we have two keynote speakers that are available and interested: Peter Morville and Jono Bacon! I have included their information in the attached excel spreadsheet and would like to hear feedback from the oversight board on both candidates.


In my opinion, both candidates are excellent potential keynote speakers. I will say that my preference would be towards Peter Morville whose work I have admired since I read his information architecture book in grad school. On the other hand, Morville is substantially more expensive than Jono and it sounds like Jono would be a great catch, having recently been a keynote speaker at Open Source Convention in Portland, Oregon on July 27, 2011.

Sorry for the short notice, but if everyone could get me feedback by Friday, December 9, that would be great. With the upcoming holidays and the new year approaching, I'd like to be able to make a decision about this soon!

Thanks in advance!
