Subject: ApacheCon Austin keynotes (and other stuff)
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Over the coming days, I'm going to be tossing some things onto the list, 
in the hopes that someone will have time to step up and take some of 
these tasks, which I afraid I'm going to drop if I don't get them 
written down somewhere. 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.
