Have you seen the speech he gave Bush? Right in front of Bush? I most certainly want him to speak to RSA.

- ianstormtaylor 13y agoWow that is amazing, I can't believe I have never heard of it. Makes me much more comfortable with him going if he pulls off something like that again.

- RexRollman 13y agoThat speech was awesome and if I was the RSA, I would be reconsidering asking him, considering what he could say.
- yeukhon 13y agoQuestion is: why would he be speaking at RSA conference. Imagine him speaking at PyCon closing. Why would he go there? It just makes the conference more like high school / college graduation where you invite someone interesting/outstanding to talk about what it means to be successful person. Do we need someone else to tell us how terrible X is doing? What public policy is bad? How to become a successful person in the industry? I mean come on... I reserve my conservatism here. If someone else needs to mock RSA / Python / Ruby whatnot, let someone else in the tech community do it?
- rdl 13y agoRSA always has a "normal" non-tech comedy/general interest speaker doing the closing keynote on Friday, after everyone actually working on stuff has already left or is in meetings.
- georgemcbay 13y ago"why would he be speaking at RSA conference." Well, let's say you've got an extra 10 million dollars laying around after selling out your customers, you gotta use it on something...
- hyperbovine 13y agoIt's that $10 million that makes me skeptical that he'll be speaking truthiness to power at this event. The WHCA was one thing but i suspect he's raking it on the private lecture circuit like everyone else.
