Nominations for invited speakers/keynotes for Code4Lib 2014. Please include a description and any relevant links and try to keep the list in alphabetical order. Suggestions will close on August 30, 2013 at midnight (EDT), which will be followed by a community vote. We will contact nominees before the vote to confirm their interest.
As library development teams grow from single programmers writing "glue" scripts to small teams working together on mid size web apps and further to large development shops producing complex and large scale systems, they find themselves struggling with issues of scale. These issues of scale are not just with the systems being built, but with the operations of the team itself. Operations can often be overlooked during the daily routine of project meetings, writing code, fixing bugs, etc. John's insights on operations and capacity planning would be useful to the library development community, particularly for those in departments that are maturing from one or two programmers to mid-size or larger development teams.

I was lucky enough to participate in this event last summer and I think it was an incredible experience. I think Jukka and Mace have a great perspective in how to organize a wide encompassing international library community. == Mark Pilgrim == Before committing infocide in 2011, Mark Pilgrim produced five highly regarded books, including Dive Into Python, Dive Into Accessibility, and Dive Into HTML5, as well as one of the more popular blogs for some time, Dive Into Mark. He helped create and promote the Atom standards, and has been an active and persuasive promoter of open source, standards, and accessibility. Although he is mostly offline these days, he is contributing to the Firefox project. And he may be willing to address code4lib because he lives in nearby Cary and because his mother was a librarian.
