Re: [Debconf-team] Inviting certain people, Mitnick
-1 for Mitnick but I'm interested in the reasoning behind your choice.
If we build the profile of the person you want to bring we can discuss
it further, although I feel the talk and somewhat the person has to be
Debian-related.
I got a few sample points of very strong negative feedback in DC10 for
the non-Debian-related talks.

Well, many times the widening comes from seeing your own people
standing their ground to "the world". You might have plenty of awesome
speakers in your area, just waiting to be tapped.
If you want to go as far as Romania, most probably there are some
renowned "security consultants". Maybe convincing them to submit a
talk about Debian security holes? Just some ideas ("throwing some meat
in the BBQ", as we say in my country).
