The date for GOTO is getting closer and it’s still not clear if I’m participating or not. I’m still waiting to se if someone will sponser me a ticket or not. If I am going, there are some speakers I will be looking forward to hear.

Dan North:
I have heard him speak on other occasions and I really enjoy listening to his talks. I find them inspirering and I always take something new home with me. Last time it was a Rubriks Cube and a ball pen – you know what I mean.

Dean Wampler:
Last year I was at the Strange Loop conference in St. Louis. When I’m at a conference I try to mingle. So my friend and I ended up eating breakfast with a bunch of guys we didn’t know, exchanging ideas and discussing programming languages. It was only later that day I found out, that one of them had been Dean. He’s such a cool guy, and will definitely try to attend his session.

Jeff Hawkins:
I have a degree in psychology. Nothing to discuss. I will attend.

Kevlin Henney:
Kevlin is also one I have heard speak before and he was very inspirering. Though it’s been more than a year since I attended his talk, some of the things he spoke about still pops up from time to time. Can’t wait to hear what he has to say this time.

Dave Thomas:
Him I met at GOTO Copenhagen a few years ago. Me and a friend had found a quiet corner and apparently he needed a break from all the fuss as well, so he came and sat down with us. We had some good discussion about software design, especially some challanges with a distributed system that my friend and I was involved in at that moment. He is such a nice and interesting guy, so I’m looking forward to hear him talk.

Then of course Ola Bini, Jeff Sutherland and all the other particpants.

I really need this
