Other options along the same line as Sandy...
I was in the Engineering team at Integrated Circuit Systems, Valley Forge, in the 90s and Sandy was there
at that time doing IC Layout. She continues to work with these designers for AMI in
Plymouth Meeting. Other folks in that firm have other industry experience.
I just had lunch with an ex colleague named Jeff Witt that worked in early IC design
over the timeframe of MOS, RCA (1802) , and even Solid State Scientific of Montgomeryville.
Sandy is has the Commodore angle which is awesome.
But there is some fertile ground around AMI to cultivate a speakers from in general, of this sort.
Good to have options!
There's also Greg Berlin, of Amiga product and board fame that is now working for Ring.

Chip designer could work for Friday. But everyone -- even my fellow VCF
management colleagues ;) -- needs to understand that if another Commodore
person if a big speaker, then we'll lose the big iron audience, and so on
and so on.... what we CAN do as a compromise is invite her to do a how-to
Friday slot, just like Bil Herd usually does for us.

Just getting caught up on this thread.

@Evan, we have two keynotes, we should get a big wide audience name for
one of them and the other we can have the commodore chip designer present
for the other.  I know I’d be interested in how this stuff is designed even
though I didn’t own a commodore till I bought a Vic-20 last year.

Charles H. Moore, the inventor of FORTH.

We have done the inventor of C, of BASIC, why not FORTH?

Google indicates that he lives in Nevada.



That is far away. Have you asked him if he is interested?
