Of course Flock will have the usual State of Fedora FPL keynote, but I think it would be great to have other keynotes each day of Flock as well. Any suggestions on whom we should approach (even better if you know them!)?
Well keynotes are usually tied into the theme of a conference.. so suggesting the Red Hat CEO might not be good if that is not the theme. What is the theme of Flock? [And sorry if I am missing something obvious.]
I'm not sure there's a set theme. I'm also not sure you need one to come up with keynote speakers. Find people doing really interesting stuff with Fedora that we don't normally see, or find people using Fedora in high profile places to discuss why they use it, etc.
Another idea could be to look at the resulting talks submitted and perhaps do keynote speakers based on the tracks that fall out from those. E.g. if you have a kernel track, an ARM track, a security track, and a design track, you could invite keynote speakers that are from each of those communities.
I think the options are fairly open ended, but the end result should be speakers relevant in some way to Fedora.
