ApacheCon Austin keynotes (and other stuff)
Over the coming days, I'm going to be tossing some things onto the list,
in the hopes that someone will have time to step up and take some of
these tasks, which I afraid I'm going to drop if I don't get them
written down somewhere. So, here's one of them ...
I started a conversation a while back about potential keynotes for
Austin - that thread is at http://markmail.org/message/gmerzm2c7fnzz4at
I wonder if someone might have time to dig through that thread for
names, and, perhaps contact information that might go with them.
And we're always looking for additional suggestions, always bearing in
mind that diversity is important, and, as observed at ApacheCon last
month, "dudes with beards", and "dudes without beards" doesn't count as
diversity.
We've got an etherpad going at https://pad.apache.org/p/AustinBrainstorm
with a Keynotes section down at the bottom. It's becoming a bit of a
mess, but until we have a better place to track stuff (maybe an actual
doc in svn?) that's where I've been braindumping stuff. (You'll need ASF
LDAP committer credentials to edit that etherpad.)
Thanks in advance.

As far as topics, let me think.

Do you have a personal connection there to make intros? And do you have
a suggestion as to what, specifically, we'd ask her to talk about?

At POSSCON a few years ago, Jessica McKellar of PSF keynoted as
was quite good. Since the PSF took some ASF bits and pieces
to create itself, maybe she would be a great person to contact
and see if she'd like to keynote.

Well, now that you say so, there is that guy called "Rich Bowen". You
know, most developers ain't that rich and this guy ostensibly says he's
Rich... This may hurt financial feelings.
Another option is to call the guy "Poor Bowen", so everyone feels ok?
Just a suggestion.

Austin is the home of the Texas Advanced Computing Center, which at times has the largest high performance computing cluster.
https://www.tacc.utexas.edu
I have lost touch with them a bit, but could rekindle a connection. They have tons of cool stuff to show and use open source a lot.
An idea that comes to mind is:
https://www.tacc.utexas.edu/about/directory/kelly-gaither
She is quite good, and would have lots of cool stuff to show. Though I don't know how open source what she does is.

By the way, if anyone has any reason at all that one of the proposed
keynoters is going to be an embarrassment, *PLEASE* speak up sooner
rather than later, and don't be worried about hurting feelings.
Canceling a keynote at the last minute is a HUGE embarrassment, not to
mention cost, and if you know something I don't, tell me now before I
buy someone plane tickets.
No, I won't be asking any politicians. Ever again.

How about Jono Bacon. He's got the open source creds but his new gig at XPrize is a fascinating demonstration that what we do here in open source is akin to the processes needed to create huge innovation leaps. If we were to pair that with some bigwig at a research org then we can do the full story from invention through innovation to production (I'm assuming production is a given with the ASF).
I can fish around for a research bigwig if you want, but we have plenty of people around here more directly connected to that world too.
