The fact this is being brought up makes me proud to be a Fedoran. We as a group are so interested in ideas that we would debate this is awesome. We can never be perfect, but we do make efforts on bias.

I mildly support the concept, but would need to see an example of how this helps out more than on paper. Part of us being Open would be letting this info be free.

Looking at it to make sure it does not produce Law of untended consequences somehow makes sense. If folks wanted to attach their name to a proposal would that be ok?

HOW would this work? I do a talk that sounds good to some, they walk in a the room - see me and turn around? :D I know it would be released
on a schedule *beforehand* but my point is *names mean something here. There are quite a few people here I would vote for BASED on their name- due to seeing that every session they do is productive.

I'm interested in what people think about this.

Right now, when you submit a proposal for a talk (or hackfest/workshop),
the title and abstract are made public, but the identify of the speaker
is not.

The intent was to try to remove bias on voting for the speaker as
opposed to the topic, but several people have disagreed with that intent.

Should we make the name of the proposed presenter public as well? (Note
that the selection committee was always going to be able to see the full
data including presenter names).
