[Haskell-cafe] Speakers for a kickoff meetup on functional programming.

[Damian Nadales]

Hi,

I'm planning on organizing a Meetup group about Functional Programming
in Eindhoven, for next year. Currently there is very few people doing
that in this area (according to the few jobs available here), and I
would like to promote it. Next to that I would like to advertise
Haskell, but I wanted to start with a more broader scope. My current
employer is willing to sponsor this, and hence I was looking which
speakers could be possible to bring for the big opening event.

My first question is which speakers you know in the FP world that can
clearly convey the ideas on "why functional programming matter for
your company". The idea is to try to spark the interest of the
different stakeholders in this city (and region).

Second, I've seen some material here and there on FP propaganda, but I
would like to know which ones are you favorites.

Thanks a lot in advance,
Damian.
