Here are some people who have been suggested as keynote speakers.

Top Choices (prioritized

More or less Python related

  • Eric Raymond - unofficially contacted, is interested.
  • Bram Cohen (BitTorrent)

  • Someone from Firaxis to talk about and show Python in the Civilization IV game
  • David Ascher
  • Laura Creighton
  • timbot
  • Evelyn Mitchell
  • effbot
  • Gitte Wange
  • MvL
  • MAL
  • Greg Wilson
  • Andy Hertzfeld

General Tech related

Potential topic ideas

  • New/Emerging Opportunities for Python
  • Python's biggest success (BitTorrent?)

  • Python at (a large visible organization, such as Disney, Lucasfilm, NASA)
  • The New New thing: Ruby on Rails
  • Taking Python Mainstream
  • Something really sexy, like scripting a popular game in python (Civilization IV comes to mind, it should be released by then)
  • How to change the world (for the better) with Python

(Judging by the feedback forms, people really do want Python-related keynotes. For example, a number of people thought Mitch Kapor's keynote was interesting but didn't have enough Python content. So I think the Ruby on Rails idea would never fly. --amk)
