It's time to conclude this thread, and go ahead with sending out the
invitations. I gather that there's a good deal of enthusiasm for having
Noufal and Peter Wang, so I recommend that we go ahead with formally
approaching them. We should try to have at most one other speaker. Let's
keep the floor open for this third speaker.

So, Noufal - I ask this on the behalf of all of us - would you like to be a
keynote speaker at PyCon India 2017?

Thanks!
