Suggestions are welcome. Hint: If your professor works on programming languages and has a last name beginning with F, please try to convince him to become a LtU guest blogger.
I have several candidates in mind, but I think it is much nicer if a guest blogger is someone a regular reader knows personally.

As a current working resident of .NETland, I'd be most interested to hear from Erik Meijer.

Well' he's got his own weblog, so I am not sure he'd be interested.
But if anyone is in touch with him, be sure to extend him an invitation.

Too bad LtU was not around in the times of Turing, Curry and Church...

Peter Norvig! Ok, fine, Henry Baker. If he's not available, maybe we can go for Richard P. Gabriel.

I'm from the industrial sector, so there's not much chance of snagging expertize in PL from there. :-)
One of these days, I'd like to see some representation from the Arizona crowd - Griswold or some other person that's into Icon. A language with lots of ideas to espouse, though I wish they'd opted for a bit more operator overloading.

Hm, that doesn't exactly narrow it down: Felleisen, Friedman, Findler, Flanagan, Flatt, Filinski or Freeman? :)

I'd like to second Henry Baker if that is possible.

How about Gert Smolka or Vijay Saraswat?
Peter Norvig is a good idea too.
What about Xavier Leroy (O'Caml) or Hassan Ait-Kaci (LIFE, ILOG)?
Carl Hewitt is visionary, smart, and opinionated.
Mark Miller (security and E) would also be a good possibility.

Perhaps John Hughes could be interested? He is quite a populariser of fancy programming techniques. Recently he's been found on the "Language of the Year" mailing list, helping out newcomers to functional programming (along with Peter Van Roy). He's also notable as one of the few "bona fide" functional programming people seriously involved with the Erlang community.
(Oh, and if anyone knows Guy Steele..)

Great list. I have someone lined up, but feel free to continue this interesting list of recommended guest blogger.
As I've said before, if you know someone from this lsit personally, do extend an invitation. But not for next week. We are booked!
I think that getting Turing t guest-blog is going to be a bit difficult, but I'll do my best...

I'd be interested in hearing from someone in the theorem-proving community. There are a bunch of them -- off the top of my head I can think of Twelf, Nuprl, Coq, and Isabelle -- and they offer a distinctive way and little-known way of thinking about programs.

Tim Sweeney is already very active here, and as his posts have made clear, he's one of the very few in the commercial programming world who not only take language design seriously, but have a) done it successfully (cf. UnrealScript) and b) taken the process sufficiently seriously to suggest radical change in the types of languages being designed (cf. his advocacy of David McAllester's Ontic language). I nominate Tim as an excellent guest-blogger candidate, if he's willing and can spare the time.
