[Inpycon] Experiences from Pycon Australia and more keynote speakers

[Lakshman Prasad]

Since everyone seems to like to have Kenneth, I'd like to call, email and

we want to make this a "closing keynote" on day 1 - which seems like a good
idea; or have it go along with one of the other keynote with Armin or
Kiran, in the morning.
