Since both of you are on this thread, what do you say? We'd love to have

Caveat emptor but I suppose I could give it a shot.  Probably some
structured thoughts on mentoring and nurturing new talent if there's
interest.  I don't think something technical would work for a keynote. 

Opinions?

?+1 for this too. It is something that I can personally attest to. @Vijay's

shows.?

I would excuse myself. If I thought I had something interesting to share,
you would have already found me lining up as a regular speaker. :-)

Hi Everyone,
I have been following this thread, and would like to make a suggestion
here. The term keynote speaker is heavily overloaded. As it is obvious
from the Wikipedia page on the subject. It will be great, if we can have a
guidelines page in https://github.com/pythonindia/pyconindia-handbook as
to what is expected from a keynote speaker. This will help set, clear
expectations, which will help save time and effort. Just my 2 cents.

BTW, I do understand the role of a keynote speaker in the context of PyCon
India. But there will definitely be a skew to my own understanding. And in
a community run event, where a lot of people are involved, each one will
have a distorted  view of his own. Setting a common guidelines, will help
set a baseline. This will also be useful to people new to the community.

Just in case, it sounds so, I am not trying to undermine any suggestion
made over here. I have a great respect for all people mentioned on this
thread. I am just trying to streamline the process.

Regards,
Vijay Kumar (@bravegnu)

In Gary Zukav's "Dancing Wu Li Masters" - which I've been re-reading the
last few days - there's a simple definition of the word "Master".

"A Master is someone who has been there before you"

For a me a keynote speaker is first a Master, who has been there before
you. A keynote speaker is someone who inspires you at least a little bit
- to follow his path - for some of the things he has done.

A keynote speaker is someone who you look up to in at least one or two
ways and deep inside you think - "Hey, I like what he did there"

I would rather phrase the requirements in such Zen terms than couch it
in any strict definitions.

This is a very personal thing and trying to put a process around it
would be rather counter productive IMHO.

To offer a counter point, organizers need to look at the speakers from the
point of view of attendees. So the choice cannot be too personal. On the
other hand, it needs to be wide enough in appeal.

I agree. Zen koans are useful for introspection and insight[1]. They're
bad for setting policy involving a large group of people because of how
subjective they are. They mean different things for different people and
leaving these assumptions unspoken is not helpful when it comes to a
discussion.

I think trying to tease out a few things that the people expect from a
keynote speaker and then putting it in black and white is a good
thing. It clarifies thought and creates consensus.

My personal "main criterion" for a keynote speaker is that he or she
should be a crowd puller. People should want to attend the event *just*
to see the person speak.



Footnotes:

quite annoying.

The problem with this approach is - it's definition by consensus. It may
create a set of attributes which point to a mythical keynote speaker -
who may not exist - cuz this way of defining things usually creates just
that - an ideal set, which nobody in real life matches to.

Bollywood stars qualify this criteria. But they definitely can't be
keynote speakers for us. At least not yet.

Just to throw this in the mix, since PyDelhiConf invited a member from
CERN, we were offered to try and talk to tim Berbers Lee for PyCon.

The reason for not bringing this earlier was I was not sure if he would be
a good fit cause I don't see him using much python.

+1 for Noufal and Anand B, both as Indian Keynote speakers.

There is no reason why we can't have multiple Indian Keynote speakers.

Regards
Akkshay

P.S
We are aiming to close the suggestion list by tomorrow evening,
get all your suggestions in before that.

Of course. We don't want to overfit things but some guidelines are
useful.

Well, we have "celebrities" within the ecosystem but yes, I get your

There is a small downside to a "crowd puller" criteria - the
individual has to be fairly well known to a large cross section of the
audience. Events treat keynotes in different manner - some want to use
that to sell more tickets (and thus have more audience); some want to
provide a platform for introducing a not-so-well-recognized individual
who has meaningful learning to share. I do not agree that a keynote
speaker has to be the sole reason for the target audience to attend
the event - even if the speaker's brand/charisma/knowledge helps in
headlining and promotions.

It's time to conclude this thread, and go ahead with sending out the
invitations. I gather that there's a good deal of enthusiasm for having
Noufal and Peter Wang, so I recommend that we go ahead with formally
approaching them. We should try to have at most one other speaker. Let's
keep the floor open for this third speaker.

So, Noufal - I ask this on the behalf of all of us - would you like to be a
keynote speaker at PyCon India 2017?

Thanks!

Hello,

My suggestion for the Keynote Speaker is Damien P. George [1]. He is 
the creator of MicroPython [2] for which he also ran a kickstarter in 
2013.


I asked a few communities for their suggestions for keynote, I have 
compiled some of them and am listing them out in no particular order:

- Cory Benfield (python-hyper, core developer of requests)
- Jeff Forcier (fabric, paramiko)
- Donald Stufft (pypa guy)
- David Beazely
- Francois Chollet (Keras)

[1] -  http://dpgeorge.net/
