Given the nature of my thinking lately about Evergreen as a community more than as software I'm biased toward Jono personally. I agree as well with Rogan's observation that this Keynote might lend something unique to this community gathering. I would learn a lot on either path, of course.<div><br></div><div>Thanks again,</div><div>Steve Wills<br><div><br><div><div>On Dec 7, 2011, at 9:37 AM, Borger, Shauna wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-size: medium; "><div lang="EN-US" link="blue" vlink="purple"><div class="WordSection1" style="page: WordSection1; "><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; ">Hello everyone,<o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><o:p> </o:p></div><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; ">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!

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.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><o:p> </o:p></div><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; ">Sorry for the short notice, but if everyone could get me feedback by Friday, December 9, that would be great.
