[svlug] celebrities in the Open Source community

[Chris DiBona]

Yeah, but I don't like that so much for a number of reasons.

We're the SVLUG not the global-lug. 
We want to be able to question them on things they -don't- want to answer.
We want to be able to keep the questioned tied to the speech.

So I guess I don't like the idea.
