What just crossed my mind: If we want a really prominent person for
a speech (e.g. Jimbo) we would definitely need to ask him first, when
he has time capacity. I mean otherwise we decide on June the xyth
and then Jimbo/the prominent guest says Oh what a pity, on June xyth
I can't come but it would have been possible one week later.
So as we only have 5 days left, we would need to *very quickly* ask
the relevant people when they would have time.
I'm glad you address this topic and you're perfectly right. To me, it's
not that important to have these really prominent people although it
would be nice if someone could come. I wouldn't spend 1000 CHF for a
flight for Jimbo (I hope e forgives me if he sees this). If we try to
get multiple persons it's impossible fix a date that's fine for everybody.
I don't think that you would need to pay him a flight...
(Angela/Delphine: You can definitely inform us here can't you?)
Instead I would ask some medium prominent people like Bertrand Meyer
(and I hope he forgives me this term too) *after* fixing the date. As he
is in Switzerland (working very close to GEP) he might hold a speech for
a nice present and some drinks.
Isn't this the man in whose WP-entry somebody announced his death
while he was still living. I'm not so sure whether he likes WIkipedia
so much at the moment.
Do you know further persons we could invite for a speech?
Hm, question is whether we want people from the Open-Source-Szene
(there Manuel knows maybe a few names) or other people from a
Bildungsumfeld.
