Has anyone seen them speak? I think Pia's awesome. I like Anne too but
have never seen her speak. I see that she's got a few things on youtube
that I'll check out. I love Leslie, but if we're getting a RH speaker
there might be others that I'd choose first for GUADEC from our previous
brainstorming. With Hilary, I'd love for her to speak if she would tailor
her talk to GNOME (like Jacob did). I'm going to ask my "inside track"
about it :)

Great suggestions, Dave! As you know, we'll need a lot of ideas to get
four solid speakers who can actually make it.
