Very good idea, thanks for pushing.

While I agree that it would be great to have that information at hand
for the conference, I wonder if that has to be a keynote, or if it
could be a press release for example. For me it depends if Michael 
likes to take the opportunity to really enthuse the community, if he
wants, I am all for it.

Good idea, as Aaron obviously is a great speaker, and if he talks about 
the collaboration topic, especially with a upstream <-> downstream focus it
would be great. I know he at least had issues with working downstreams, 
why not talking about that.

I don't think we want a KDE Plasma Active Keynote. On the other hand I of
course hope that there will be quite a bunch of "normal" talks about 
Plasma Active.

What happened to Holgers offer to contact Gunter Dueck from IBM?

Does anybody have contacts to Intel to find somebody talking about what
they intend with the buildservice and MeeGo for example?

Would "Linux 3.0" be a topic? For whom?

What about a more political topic? We could contact somebody from 
http://digitalegesellschaft.de . I would appreciate that as I think
at least one not so technical topic would be fine.
