 * Alan Kay

 * Vernor Vinge
 * Robert Lefkowitz

 * Someone to discuss agile programming.
 * Someone from Firaxis to talk about and show Python in the Civilization IV game
 * Mark Hammond, who is making Python a first-class scripting language in the
 Mozilla platform: http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/roadmap/archives/008865.html + someone from Mozilla like Mitchell Baker or Asa Dotzler
 * Greg Wilson

 * David Ascher
 * Laura Creighton
 * timbot
 * Evelyn Mitchell
 * effbot
 * Gitte Wange
 * MvL
 * MAL

 * Andy Hertzfeld

= 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)''
