I realize that often these threads begin as which specific
international speakers need outreach and such. I'm going to propose
the name of someone who is not international. I believe that we should
consider Abhaya Agarwal as a keynote speaker. A number of us are
familiar with Abhaya as one of the individuals behind Pothi.com.
Digital publications and publishing throws up interesting challenges
in economics and efficiency - Abhaya has been doing more than
tinkering around these topics to be able to provide a sizeable chunk
of end-user experience and product/service value. The conference would
benefit from having Abhaya speaking.
