Aside from gapminder: http://www.gapminder.org/ which I mentioned
already, here's a scattering of ideas:
- Tim Berners Lee
- Eben Moglen
- Donald Norman (author: "The design of Everyday Things") -
http://www.jnd.org/
- Scott Berkun - http://www.scottberkun.com/
- Alan Cooper (Author: "The Inmates are Running the Asylum") -
http://www.cooper.com/
- Seth Godin - http://sethgodin.typepad.com/
- Guy Kawasaki - http://www.guykawasaki.com/
- Doc Searls - http://doc.weblogs.com/
- Joel Spolsky - http://www.joelonsoftware.com/
- Eric Sink - http://www.ericsink.com/ (pretty windows oriented, though...)
- Jonathan Schwarz (OK - risky having CEOs at the conference, but it'd
be fun)
- Ron Hovsepian (it'd be fun - bring your rotten tomatoes)
- The Internet's Jono Bacon?
In general, I'm trying to think of people I know give a good
presentation, which would be a little relevant to the community -
someone in software is great, someone in design would be great, someone
in technical writing or technical marketing would be OK (on the
condition that they're interesting, and fun). I couldn't think of too
many high-profile actual hackers that give good presentations, though...
Cheers,
Dave.
