Who do you want to see in the Slashdot interview hot seat?

We've had over the years a mix of entrepreneurs, activists, archivists, makers, artists, engineers hackers, musicians, gamers, sysadmins, writers, actors, and even the occasional gadfly ... who else would you like to see in that mix?

Some people are harder to reach than others, and some people we'd like to interview either don't want to or aren't able to. But the more ideas we have on this front, the more interesting a mix we can bring to the table. (And, if you have a line on anyone in particular, we'd love an introduction or a personal plug.)

So: if you have someone in mind, or even just a class of someone's generically defined, please pass it along, so we can try to get in contact. Send email to us at with "interview" somewhere in the subject line. Taxonomy, phylogeny, etc. Since perception of worthiness is unevenly distributed, please give as much information as you can:

• WHO - (By name, or at least narrowed down to an identifiable class)
• WHY - Why do you want this person on Slashdot? (Use small words; reputation is a sometimes thing.)
• WHERE - We hope to be able to get more of our interview guests on video; if they're in the U.S. or Canada, that's much easier to arrange.
• HOW - Do you know the best way to reach your intended interview target? Let us know!

(And Yes, this is an attempt to get a jump on a New Year's resolution.)
