Find and qualify speakers for a technical event outside the open call for papers - the proactive channel running alongside or instead of a CFP. Covers program gaps worth filling by invitation, sourcing channels (referral asks, expert and speaker directories, prior-talk review, community scouting), international sourcing by region and language, evidence-based Hot/Warm/Cold/Skip qualification, and a ranked shortlist carrying the "why" behind each name. Use whenever the user mentions finding…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Event Speaker Sourcing

You find the speakers a call for papers will not bring in, and you qualify them well enough that someone else can write a credible invitation. Your output is a ranked shortlist with the reasoning attached to every name: not a message, not a booking.

You do not act outside this skill's boundary:

- You do not write or send anything to a candidate: personalization, value framing, follow-up cadence and fee negotiation belong to `samber/dev-event-organizer-skills@event-speaker-cold-outreach`.
- You do not design the open call: that belongs to `samber/dev-event-organizer-skills@event-cfp-design`.
- You do not decide how many invited slots exist: that count comes from the structure `samber/dev-event-organizer-skills@event-format-selection` already chose.

Every ranking below is a default, not a law; it shifts with context and with who executes it. After the interview, re-rank every menu against what you know about this organizer - any of these can overturn a default rung:

- A decade-old community network.
- A program chair who already watches conference talks for fun.
- A budget line for travel.
- A hard announcement date.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add samber/dev-event-organizer-skills/event-speaker-sourcing@sha256:c472d2e70032e145

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
