At POSSCON a few years ago, Jessica McKellar of PSF keynoted as was quite good. Since the PSF took some ASF bits and pieces to create itself, maybe she would be a great person to contact and see if she'd like to keynote.
Do you have a personal connection there to make intros? And do you have a suggestion as to what, specifically, we'd ask her to talk about?

So, here's one of them ... I started a conversation a while back about potential keynotes for Austin - that thread is at http://markmail.org/message/gmerzm2c7fnzz4at I wonder if someone might have time to dig through that thread for names, and, perhaps contact information that might go with them. And we're always looking for additional suggestions, always bearing in mind that diversity is important, and, as observed at ApacheCon last month, "dudes with beards", and "dudes without beards" doesn't count as diversity. We've got an etherpad going at https://pad.apache.org/p/AustinBrainstorm with a Keynotes section down at the bottom. It's becoming a bit of a mess, but until we have a better place to track stuff (maybe an actual doc in svn?) that's where I've been braindumping stuff. (You'll need ASF LDAP committer credentials to edit that etherpad.) Thanks in advance. -- Rich Bowen - rbo...@rcbowen.com - @rbowen http://apachecon.com/ - @apachecon
