I think this (Cameron's) is a terrible, outmoded concept, just reeking
if the "old boy" network, "old school tie" mentality.
Proposals should be judged at face value, not on some preconceived
notions of what was good before now.
Bravo to the organizing committee for suggesting blind (unbiased) judgments!

in selecting Open Source presentations, I think it is very important
to know who will be presenting, almost as important as the
presentation content itself. This is because the presenters who will
have the most insightful content, and who will attract the most
audience are usually those who have built up a large, very public
reputation, (as leaders of open source communities, usually with a
long history of insightful emails, blogs, and IRC trails).
