I know Robyn and Jaroslav personally and I think they're good fits for this. On the other hand, I'm a bit concerned that people might feel GUADEC is too much about Red Hat. Red Hat is going to be one of the major partners and sponsors, most people in the organizing team are redhatters, there will be a lot of attendees from Red Hat since it's held in Brno etc. What about inviting a "representative of users"? I suppose there some larger deployments of GNOME no matter if it's on RHEL or SUSE or some other system. There are also companies that build their solutions on GNOME technologies. I've always felt that such voices (of those that use the software in day-to-day business) are not emphasised enough at conferences such as GUADEC. Just my 2c.
