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.
Well, I knew it's going to happen - there will be no names behind talk
proposal but I was still surprised there are no names ;-).
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.
And it's maybe useless - reading through the proposals I can at least bet
the author of proposal from the proposal itself. We're "small" community
and we usually know each other pretty well. Based on this, it could help
less known people - biased in the style - I don't know this guy, I don't
want this talk. But better solution would be to actually introduce such
guys, so it's actually opposite to current solution.
I'm not going to fight for opening but I think it makes sense in Fedora
land to be more open and transparent.
Btw. as proposals already started with anonymity rule, I'd prefer submitters
to explicitly opt-out from being anonymous.

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).
