It's been going to board-planning. I haven't been asking on board-list, 
but have asked some people personally.

My ideas are:
Simon Phipps (invitation gone)
Someone from OSAF (Mitch Kapor or Ted Leung, not sure it's relevant enough)
Someone from Google (Ben Collins-Sussman or Jon Trowbridge)

General principle: figure out who's currently doing cool stuff in free 
software and ask the to come & talk about it.

A few more ideas:
Ton Roosendaal (Blender, releasing Elephant's Dream in mid March)
A High Profile GNOME Developer (we had Jeff, Seth & Miguel last year, 
Nat the year before, who's going to be our "kick in the arse" speaker 
this year? Glynn?)
Someone from Spain (Ideas, Quim?)
Someone from O'Reilly (tenuous link at best - but Tim O'Reilly's a good 
speaker)

More ideas welcome. No invitations sent outside of the 2 acceptances and 
Simon Phipps so far.

Cheers,
Dave.
