Unfortunatly I can't be there. Now a direct question, what subject
concerning openSUSE could you hold a soeech about? Some ideas:
openSUSE from a non-employee point of view
what is different since openSUSE
...

I think it is very important to have non-SUSE speakers to show that it is
openSUSE and not SUSE. If no subject can be found, perhaps the
introduction of what openSUSE is can be done by a SUSE person and an
openSUSE person. e.g. the first introduction "Introduction to the openSUSE
project (michl, skh)" can be held by one SUSE and one non-SUSE person.

This to show people there is a real difference between SUSE and openSUSE.
an example how this might work:
Hello, my name is skh and I work for SUSE since ....
-Hello, my name is  XXX and I do NOT for for SUSE, I am one of the many
people behind openSUSE ...
[introduction to openSUSE and how it has become what it is, followed by
where it can and/or should go]

Advantages:
It would show people right from the start that this is about the community
Guest speaker does not need to find his own subject

It is just an idea. It does not exclude other openSUSE speakers to hold
speeches on different subjects. e.g. 'maintaining a SUSE repository' or
'my first SUSE' or whatever.

So everybody, look at http://en.opensuse.org/Events and see when an event
is in your neighbourhood and volonteer to hold a speech. Please put a
contactadress on that page at the top as to where openSUSE people can
submit their contribution. Now it is just : Novell will be there.

Also somebody that is not SUSE behind the desk can be something to be
considerd.
