Hello all.
It would be definitely cool to have keynotes everyday and I'm sure there are
plenty of topics that could be interesting; however, my only question would
be what's our target (knowing that the idea is to gather people who *make
things*) just to show them how awesome we (or some companies) are, or
projects proposal that can make them want to contribute?
I might not be well experienced in huge events like most people in NA and
EMEA are; however, it would be cool that keynotes encourage
developers/designers/translators/etc to join an initiative or a project and
not just turn into an informative -huge talk-
I think the best keynotes I have seen are often only tangentially
related to the conference itself. But they are always inspiring, fill
you with wonder, and make you think about things in some new way.
For example, Dr. Hong from RoMeLa would knock our socks off if he came to talk.
