Fantastic suggestion Dmitry! I would love to go to a JS workshop put on by John and I'm sure I'm not alone.
John Resign is a very good suggestion indeed.
I wonder who (and most importantly why) vote against? Would be nice to hear.
Indeed a great suggestion - we've been trying to get John for some time! There'll definitely be one or more speakers of John's stature in the JavaScript/Ajax arena this year!
+1 to sessions on extreme JS. While all the recent improvements in JS performance may sound like over-the-top nerd celebration, it will make a difference to what can be done on the Web in the coming years (eg. firefox's recent example of greenscreen on video). It also has a huge impact on what mobile devices can do.
I'm sure John/Maxine know the audience well - maybe these nerd sessions don't sell so well, but I'm interested.
