[EuroPython] Keynotes?

[Beatrice During]

Hi there

My name is Beatrice Düring, I am co-chairing the Agile track with Holger 
Krekel, Aiste Kesminaite and Bea Fontaine.

We have discussed in our group, together with Michael Hudson about 
keynotes. We have discussed the idea to invite Helen Sharp of the Open 
University to keynote the Agile track. She is well-known in the Agile 
community and keynotes their larger conferences.(H.C.Sharp at open.ac.uk)

She was a keynote at the ACCU  - title "Software Development -- a social 
activity with technical aspects".

So our questions are:

- have there been any decisions made regarding keynotes for the entire 
conference?
- could we have one or say one per day? Some discussions about inviting 
Alan Kay for example (again Michael...) - and then maybe also Helen Sharp?
- could a single track have a keynote - say Helen if she is not a 
keynote for the entire conference?
- do we have any system regarding reimbursments for keynotes (travels, 
accommodation???)

These questions need some rough answering before we can proceed to 
invite her - even if only for the agile track....

Cheers

Bea
