Obama's nerd dinner guest list

The president will break bread with a small group of Silicon Valley hot shots that include (via NYT):

•John Doerr, Partner, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers
•Carol Bartz, President and CEO, Yahoo
•John Chambers, CEO and Chairman, Cisco Systems
•Dick Costolo, CEO, Twitter
•Larry Ellison, Co-Founder and CEO, Oracle
•Reed Hastings, CEO, Netflix
•John Hennessy, President, Stanford University
•Steve Jobs, Chairman and CEO, Apple
•Art Levinson, Chairman and former CEO, Genentech
•Eric Schmidt, Chairman and CEO, Google
•Steve Westly, Managing Partner and Founder, The Westly Group
•Mark Zuckerberg, President, and CEO, Facebook

The dinner will be at the home of John Doerr. Betcha there will be organic greens somewhere in the mix.
