I know I'm an outlier, as far as geography and attachment to the group, but that does not seem like a decision that can be made by one person.
I would assume there is a planning team, loosely defined though it may be that would consider such options.
It may indeed be that this presentation is too obscure to be of any general value, but I can see instances where an obscure technology and the story behind it has general implications.

Hello all, Jason Scott and I would like to recommend Ed Smith, if he is available and willing to talk. He can be contacted through Benj Edwards.
Here is an article about him written by Benj: http://www.vintagecomputing.com/index.php/archives/1230/ed-smith-interview
Thanks, Eric
I'm aware of him, but as I told Jason privately, Ed would not good for this role. The Imagination Machine is way too obscure to be the subject of a keynote address.
