Some more maker names:
Jasmine Idun Lyman -- she was a talker at FSCONS last year, and
is also actively involved in maker events.

I'm just back from Oslo Maker Faire, and here are some more
names:

Erik Thorstensson: He lives in Göteborg, and he won the maker 
prize this year at Oslo Maker Faire, so he'll be going to the
San Francisco mother event later this year.

Creatables is one of his projects:

Roger Antonsen:
Prime Mover of Maker Faire Oslo, and a very good organizer.

I've already talked with him about FSCONS a few times, and
he's very excited about the news that there is going to be
a maker track at FSCONS this year. He would like to be involved
in organizing it.
