I agree. Just curious since I wasn't paying attention do we have a 'theme' for 
the conference in general ? I liked David's keynote last year and it set the 
tempo for the event. I would summarize last year's 'feel' as being a 'get 
involved with python' event and David's talk was IMHO a good fit (whether 
intentional or not). So, maybe thinking in terms of a theme for this year's 
event may help narrow the choice for the keynote speaker.

I apologize if this has already been discussed. Feel free to hit me with a 
loaded URL to the thread.

cheers,
