[ApacheCon] Fallback keynote for Budapest
One of our keynotes for ApacheCon Budapest has been withdrawn, and we
need to come up with a replacement, fairly quickly.
I wanted to have a bunch of eyes on the options that have been already
suggested to me. If you have a *great* suggestion, and contact info,
please speak up. If it's just a random suggestion and you don't have a
personal contact, please save it for next year, as we need to move
quickly on this.
EU-based speakers are preferred for reasons of logistics.
So, here's what's been suggested so far:
Dirk-Willem suggests: can prolly dig out a BBC one from the woman who is
the key brain/architect behind iplayer and olympics if needed - or
something from the BBC archive folks.
Sebastien suggests: you might reach out to @swardley who has connection
with UK gov and their adoption of open source open standards. It does
not seem that the intent was to discuss open source in e-governement,
but It would be an interesting subject and slightly less politically
tainted.
Joe 'Zonker' Brockmeier has a talk schedule about why we need to preach
the gospel of Apache more than we're doing now, and this was initially
submitted as a keynote.
I was sure I had more of them, but I'm not able to find them right now
in the brief break between meetings, so please speak up if you've
suggested something and I've overlooked it.
Of these listed, Joe's is the only one that we know for certain that we
have already in the can. The others would require more legwork, and
probably more cost.
While the decision is, in the end, on me, I very much value your input
to help me make the decision. I'd like to have something tentatively
decided by the end of the week, and messages sent out to the potential
speakers in question.

Jim is making inquiries right now. I should know soon how that panned
out, and then we'll move to the next item on the list.

Here's a crazy suggestion: would there be any interest in having
a legal-centric keynote on the experience of a mid-size open
source-based company with ASF, Apache Lincese, etc?
I have a really wonderful legal councilor partner who is
also an amazing speaker.
Thanks,
Roman.

Watch out, UK is in many aspect not europe...and if the angle is to much
"uk" then it will not be well received in my opinion.

How about pursuading one of the "old" guys, to give a talk about Apache
growth in europe. We seem to be very disproportional represented within
europe, I am sure a couple of charts and history could make a super keynote.

As I mentioned to you in private I can reach out to UK government CTO if you want an eGovernment replacement (would likely result in the same outcome as going to Wardley)

One idea: I met Bror Salmelin (http://ec.europa.eu/digital-agenda/en/bror-salmelin)
from OISPG (https://sites.google.com/site/openinnovationplatform/)
a few years ago at an open source conference in Malta and
have been invited to speak at some confs regarding
open innovation and open source. He's a great guy, and
is a good speaker.
I'd be happy to make intros if desired.

In talking w/David Nalley, he mentioned Patrick Debois of DevOps fame.
I can get in touch with him and he'd probably be an interesting speaker
w/a reasonable amount of drawing power.
