Looking for speakers for upcoming BLU meetings

[John Abreau]

There have been some interesting articles in Linux Journal recently
that I'd like to have as topics at future BLU meetings.

One is the YubiKey (www.yubico.com), a one-time-password keyfob
that looks like an interesting low-cost alternative to SecurID tokens.
The company is based in Europe, so it's not feasible to ask them
to send a speaker.

Another is Eagle Mode (eaglemode.sourceforge.net), an interesting
alternative graphical user interface for browsing a filesystem. It's
strictly for local filesystems, but I've found it works well for browsing
remote filesystems via VNC.

There were several articles on Ajax development, about toolkits like
jQuery, Dojo, and Google GWT, and an upgrade to Rails called
ActiveScaffold.

Can anyone recommend speakers I could invite to give talks on
these topics?  I'm especially interested in an a talk about the YubiKey,
including discussion of how secure it is in practice when used as
part of a multi-factor authentication process.

Ideas for additional topics are also welcome.
