IIRC, Kushal was proposed as a keynote speaker. Why not go with Kushal
as a keynote speaker? Kushal has been into Python for 9+ years and has
contributed to numerous open source projects. I support Kushal for the
following reasons:

- CPython core developer from India
- A veteran mentor on FOSS technologies
- Upstream and contributor to various open source projects (apart from work)
- Running DGPLUG summer training successfully for years. DGPLUG summer
training has produced numerous contributors to and upstreams of open
source projects.
- Hails from an underdog college with limited infrastructure and
support. He's got hell of a real life experience to share on how he
started with FOSS and created DGPLUG from scratch to help young minds
get into and contribute to FOSS.
