I agree with Noufal here. We shouldn't be restricting ourselves to Indians or people in any other geography because we host the conference here.
Well, that's not exactly what I meant. If we have someone who's worked actively with the Indian community (and is good speaker etc.), he or she would be a better keynote speaker than a person from outside (even though the latter might be more technically qualified). So I'm in support of an Indian keynote speaker. Kushal was an excellent choice last year. It's just that my definition of "Indian" is that they should be in India and have worked with the Indian community. Not just "name" which is my understanding of what Vijay said. In any case, my sense is that most people reply to this thread would like to see Audrey as one of the speakers. If we can decide on the other person, I think we can go ahead and speak to them.
