Okay, some ideas for keynoters:

Femke Snelting - from the Libre Graphics community. She could talk about her work with the Libre Graphics Research Unit or a number of other projects she's been involved with at the intersection of design and floss. I think she is based in Belgium. I think she would have a very fresh perspective to give to Fedora on FLOSS.

Dave Crossland - he designed Cantarell, the default font in Fedora. He runs workshops worldwide to enable people to design their own fonts using FLOSS (crafting type - i took it and it was amazing) and he is also a strong advocate for open font licensing and is in charge of Googles web fonts project - he is based in the UK.

Ana Isabel Carvalho and Ricardo Lafuente - founders of Manufactura Independente, a design studio / consultancy that uses open source tools and principles to create and advocate design. Among other projects they are involved in the publication of Libre Graphics Magazine. They are based in Portugal.

Carrie Anne Philbin - women in open source award finalist, PSF board member and leads education initiatives for the Raspberry Pi Foundation, runs STEM outreach classes for women and minorities in the UK. UK based.

We /may/ have an opportunity to get a high-profile promotional piece published soon (early next week) and we think calling for keynotes may help with getting that article published. If we already have asked any keynotes or confirmed any keynotes, who are they?

The one above, Carrie Anne Philbin, seems like *rillly* good option.

Thoughts?

Is this the best way to share suggestions, on this thread, because I have
someone in mind? :-)

Yes.
