==Steve Yegge==
Staff Software Engineer, Google
"Steve started high school at age 11 and graduated at 14. He then made the only logical choice, which was to play guitar in garage bands until he was 18, when he joined the U.S. Navy as a nuclear reactor operator. Steve went on to earn his B.S. in computer science from the University of Washington, then spent five years at Geoworks developing operating systems software in 8086 assembly language. He worked at various startups, then spent just under seven years at Amazon.com as a senior software development manager. In his spare time Steve built a massively multiplayer RPG that garnered him a grand prize at Comdex in 2002. Steve has been a Googler since 2005 and plans to stay there forever." -- http://conferences.oreillynet.com/cs/user/view/e_spkr/3489

Nominations for invited speakers for Code4Lib 2012. Alphabetical order.
==James Burke==
Renowned historian of science and creator of the television series ''Connections'' and ''The Day the Universe Changed'', James Burke specializes in a view of science that tells a story while tracing the interconnectedness of people, ideas, and discoveries throughout history and culture. Burke foresaw the significance and potential of the coming information revolution [http://youtu.be/0V1hqygO5c4?t=2m13s as early as 1985].
Burke has made his scientific and historical explorations available to the world through the [http://www.k-web.org/ Knowledge Web Project], which serves as the online incarnation of his documentary series.
==Daniel Chudnov==
[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fx8OBeNmaWw| Adam is a good speaker.] --Anjanette
==Hilary Mason==
A software engineer with http://bit.ly. From her web site: "Hilary is a computer science professor with a background in machine learning, data mining, and web applications. She is currently on sabbatical to explore real-world implementations of these technologies. She is widely published and regularly speaks at academic and industry conferences, and recently realized her dream of delivering a talk on algorithms while drinking a dry ice martini. She is an enthusiastic developer and often releases code on her personal site, http://www.hilarymason.com. Hilary is also a co-founder of HACKNY-http://hackny.org" ==John Kunze== John Kunze is a preservation technologist for the California Digital Library. With a background in computer science and mathematics, he wrote software that comes pre-installed on Linux and Apple operating systems. He has also contributed heavily to the standardization of URLs, Dublin Core metadata, and web archiving. John's recent work on "microservices" has brought a pragmatic and often light-mcdonaldhearted/humorous approach to the problems of digital preservation. There is also the off-chance that he might sport his grill while doing a presentation.
==Bethany Nowviskie==
==George Oates==
George is the lead for the Internet Archive Open Library and has worked on the web since 1996, in a variety of roles that normally revolve around front-end design and online community. She is entirely comfortable with "amateur" metadata creation and hopes to explore this within the context of Open Library. Prior to her work at IA George was a lead on the Flickr Commons Initiative. Currently George also serves as a Research Associate at the Smithsonian Institution Libraries. You can see more on her at http://www.abitofgeorge.com/ and http://www.archive.org/about/bios.php. She has a great article about software community on A List Apart - http://www.alistapart.com/articles/fromlittlethings. --mcdonald

==Jason Scott==
Wilkin earned graduate degrees in English from the University of Virginia ('80) and Library Science from the University of Tennessee at Knoxville ('86). In 1988 he assumed responsibility for the University of Michigan's English and American language and literature collection development, as well as library research support for English faculty and graduate students. Soon after, he implemented a campus-wide service for the analysis of electronic text and encoding text in SGML. In 1992, he began work at the University of Virginia as the Systems Librarian for Information Services, where he shaped the Library's plan for establishing a group of electronic centers, led and provided technical support for those centers, and consulted for the University's Insitute for Advanced Technology in the Humanities (IATH) in textual issues.
==Kam Woods==
Postdoctoral Research Scientist at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Kam is currently developing modified open source digital forensics tools for digital archivists. He works with
archivists, librarians, forensics researchers, and other development groups to identify core needs in analyzing
and preparing digital content for preservation -- specifically needs that can be addressed using existing
high-performance forensic technologies (with a little tweaking). He is also interested in developing datasets
and teaching technologies to support education and professional training in digital archiving.
