[Inpycon] Suggestions for the Keynote Speaker

[qua non]

Just to throw this in the mix, since PyDelhiConf invited a member from
CERN, we were offered to try and talk to tim Berbers Lee for PyCon.

The reason for not bringing this earlier was I was not sure if he would be
a good fit cause I don't see him using much python.

+1 for Noufal and Anand B, both as Indian Keynote speakers.

There is no reason why we can't have multiple Indian Keynote speakers.

Regards
Akkshay

P.S
We are aiming to close the suggestion list by tomorrow evening,
get all your suggestions in before that.
