Thanks for driving things forward, Grant - *huge* help and awesomeness. :)
The three keynotes are:
* Matthias Felleisen - "TeachScheme!"
* Susan Landau - "A Computer Scientist Goes to Washington: How to be
Effective in a World Where Facts are 10% of the Equation"
* Luis Von Ahn, "Three Human Computation Projects"
Of the three, I'm taking Landau's, so Felleisen and Von Ahn either need
(1) an owner or (2) a conscious decision not to cover it in favor of
something else on the schedule that someone does want to write an
article about. :)
I think that TeachScheme should definitely be covered (Matt, this seems
up your research alley on the programming-languages-for-novice circuit,
but you may already have your hands full with interviews[0]) - not sure
about the last one.

[0] Maybe one compromise might be to have someone else take notes, then
get a paragraph or so of insight-braindump from Matt or someone else
who's well-versed in novice coders + programming languages, then merge
the two into an article. Just brainstorming. I might be willing to take
notes, depending on what my schedule ends up looking like.
