Alright, Gentle beings, we have a week left. We ought to pick someone who is on irc frequently, or is that someone is to physically able to abduct and place on IRC to escape our high pressure deadline. None of these, that I'm aware of, are on the list. As such I think the list should be rolled over into next month (February).
Amgine has a medical oriented one, I believe, he may wish to comment further.
Another way to turn this into effective use of procrastination is to simply interview someone who is on freenode all the time like someone from one of the projects that has a freenode channel. I offer two suggestions:
Debian: a Linux distro, some free software questions are applicable
FreeMatrix: see http://www.freematrix.com is a group that produces Internet radio, they also are looking for content for Internet TV. They already use our news feeds and many of the members of this list have already spoken to them on non interview topics.
I am aware that this gives us a computer bent for a January interview but I do not see any way around this given our time constraints, we really need to streamline the Interview of The Month selection process.
If no one makes any movement between now and Jan 1st, I will conduct an informal interview with someone from FreeMatrix.

Okay, I'm working on the list at the moment. I will update the list as soon as I get caught up. (Family get-togethers are awful time eaters.)
