(Update: I left out a lot of reviewers because of a last-minute editing keystroke gone horribly wrong — with luck, everyone’s listed now.)
The speakers for XML 2007 (Boston, 3–5 December) are listed on this web page — it’s well worth a quick skim, to see the range of people and companies represented this year.
However, beyond the IDEAlliance staff and and contractors, and the speakers, there are a lot of other people (all volunteers) who help to make a conference like this happen. I’d like to use this posting to thank them publicly, and hope desperately that I haven’t left anyone out. The order of names in each section is not significant.
