Congrats to the speakers; it looks like a good line up!

Hey folks, I've seen at least one blogger point to this list and lament that "he didn't get selected for CFUnited". You may want to rename the title to clarify that this is just SOME of the selected topics. Yes, the 2nd sentence clarifies that, but some might miss that. You may want to also add something to the end, as people may more readily at that point appreciate better hearing that there are "still more to come". As always, just trying to help.

And of course I'm delighted to have been selected in this go-round. Thanks, and as always, looking forward to seeing everyone at the next conference.

Hmmm... let's see, most programmers are guys. (Looking at both the speakers list and the survey holds true for that also.) It is well known that most guys don't read everything unless they have to. Maybe someone needs to pick up a phone and call! ( just teasing guy to guy )

Charlie is right. This was just the first draft picks. WHOA... look at R.C. go! He must know somebody that knows somebody! Congrats to all the other guys on the list and it will be exciting to see what else comes into topics for this year for sure!

It is concerning to me that we always seem to have many of the same speakers. I respect those members and speakers, I only feel that we need to allow new blood into the mix. I believe it would be good to let in new blood.

@CM, again, please note that the list offered is just an initial one. Your concerns are not unique, nor are they being ignored. The advisory board is very careful to keep that in mind and I'm sure ongoing releases of speakers will include names of those who have not spoken before. Then again, note that it's also up to those new speakers to submit topics. Consider also that the speakers were selected primarily by vote of the community (with some additional attention by the board to issues like yours). Again, the challenge you raise is a constant concern in any conference.

I am for Ray C. speaking 3 times, but you have to admit that his is one of the most read blogs and the number of votes would weigh in his favor naturally. (Of course again I am in favor of his speaking... but this might be what concerned this individual... to an outsider not having all the stats and not realizing his Jedi like influence over the community gets him nearly anything from weak minded voters! LOL)

For any readers who don't catch it, Liz has blogged today with clarifications both about the fact that this isn't the final list (same with regard to an email of topics sent from the CFUnited folks earlier this week), and about the asserted "exclusivity". Both clarifications should help lift concerns some were expressing in various places. More at:

http://cfunited.com/blog/index.cfm/2008/12/31/Othe...

And John, I'll admit I too was surprised to see Ray listed 3 times on the first go-round. It could have been all due to votes, or just that in conjunction with votes and board comments Liz thought his talks ought to be among those listed first. Again, hopefully the new clarification that far more are coming will help improve understanding about things.

Looks like a great lineup. Wish I could attend!
