Hi All, There's so many parallel threads here that it's hard to determine which one to respond to. Nice to see all this open discussion though! :) In any case, in regards to choosing future talks and attempting to ensure speaker diversity, this blog post from Sarah Milstein & Eric Ries (author of "The Lean Startup" which is also worth a read) just came across my radar. It details how The Lean Startup Conference has attempted to achieve a more diverse set of speakers. Obviously all of what they did may not apply easily to the code4lib conference, but it's at least worth reading/skimming in light of all these recent threads. http://www.startuplessonslearned.com/2012/11/solving-pipeline-problem.html - Tim -- Tim Donohue Technical Lead for DSpace Project DuraSpace.org
