Re: [guadec-list] Potential keynoters

Hi all,

If we are looking into designers, may I recommend Aral Balkan[1]?  He has really good views on good design and has given talks at TED[2](4 and half minutes) and had recently spoken at RSAorg's event. He is a designer and a social entrepreneur. He is based in Brighton, England.

Hi all, I would like to propose upgrading Nathan Willis's talk to a
keynote, assuming that he would be interested. It is titled "Should we
teach the robot to kill" and is about the ethics of programming. The
subject came up recently in media specifically with regards to
self-driving cars.

Nathan's a good speaker. It would be good to know if we intend to ask him to do this, since it will affect how many papers we accept.

Another idea for a keynote would be Peter Sikking [1]. He's the lead designer for the GIMP, and has recently launched an open usability manifesto [2]. I think he could give a good talk on open source design, and is based in Berlin.
