Well, that's not exactly what I meant. If we have someone who's worked
actively with the Indian community (and is good speaker etc.), he or she
would be a better keynote speaker than a person from outside (even
though the latter might be more technically qualified). 

So I'm in support of an Indian keynote speaker. Kushal was an excellent
choice last year.  It's just that my definition of "Indian" is that they
should be in India and have worked with the Indian community. Not just
"name" which is my understanding of what Vijay said. 

In any case, my sense is that most people reply to this thread would
like to see Audrey as one of the speakers. If we can decide on the other
person, I think we can go ahead and speak to them.
