Added Gene Ambaum
Some pertinent history/biography/hyperlinks that elucidates why Jane would be a good keynote speaker.
== Gene Ambaum ==
For over a decade, Ambaum has been the writer behind the popular library webcomic [http://www.unshelved.com/ Unshelved]. Based on his own experiences working in a library, the webcomic has expanded into talks at library conferences and a well respected book reviewing service. With the comic sadly ending soon, Ambaum can share a collection of humorous and serious insights on how librarianship has changed and not changed over the years.

== Brooke Cunningham ==
Brooke is an Assistant Professor at the University of Minnesota Family Medicine and Community Health research.
She was previously a research fellow at the Medica Research Institute, exploring how providers and health system factors shape the way organizations address health care disparities. She's talked about how the healthcare system collects and profiles patient data in relation to recommended treatments. She offers insight and perspective on how racial bias is built into our systems and how we should approach how we use the data we collect.
Brooke has a specific interest in race and racism and thinking about race as a system of social stratification, not a biologically valid category. "Cunningham is committed to being part of the next generation of health disparities researchers that advances the field, from the documentation of differences in the health status of population groups to identifying solutions to reduce disparities."

== Primavera De Filippi ==
Primavera De Filippi is a permanent researcher at the National Center of Scientific Research (CNRS) in Paris. She is faculty associate at the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard Law School, where she is investigating the concept of "governance-by-design" as it relates to online distributed architectures. Most of her research focuses on the legal challenges raised, and faced by emergent decentralized technologies —such as Bitcoin, Ethereum and other blockchain-based applications —and how these technologies could be used to design new governance models capable of supporting large-scale decentralized collaboration and more participatory decision-making [1].
Primavera gave a highly lauded talk that explored the possibilities that live at the intersection between the blockchain and art, society and work, imagining what the future might look like when creative people use the full power of this technology.

== Bret Victor ==
Bret Victor is a designer, developer, activist, and teacher. He has been a UI visionary, making a huge splash with Magick Ink (anticipatory design)[1], and then followed up by proposing new UI's for Math [2], the importance of interactive coding [3], scholarly communication [4], and most recently what technologists can do about climate change [5], among many other works. Victor talks about technologists' power to invent a better world, as can be heard in one of his most influential talks, Inventing on Principle [6]:
"The purpose of this talk is to tell you that this activist lifestyle is not just for social activists. As a technologist you can recognize the wrong in the world. You can have a vision for what a better world could be. You can dedicate yourself to fighting for principle. Social activists typically fight by organizing, but you can fight by inventing."
