Well, if we are to have some evening talks then the membership simply
has to do the work.
To get external speakers for free, we have to piggy-back on people who
already are coming to London for another purpose.
If your company has someone hired to do a training course, or to give an
internal seminar, you should try to tap them for an evening talk.
Or if you hear of that Open Source luminary is in town for an event.
If you are at a university, again keep your eyes and ears open. If
someone is giving a lunchtime talk, maybe they can stay till the
evening.

I think the mention of the Redhat World Tour was very relevant here.
People ARE willing to turn out to a well publicised event, where they
are reasonably confident of getting quality content.
