I do not know about SF for sure, but in any case October is well after
that and in Europe, which means it will be drawing on a completely
different audience.

This helps us too. Fresh quarter, fresh money :)

I can give you at least five names off the top of my head, all of whom
are based in Europe and will be cheap to fly in, and I am sure we can
round up a few more--we only need ten speakers and one or two keynotes
to fill the program.

Here is who i think we should ask to speak:

Alan Cox
Steven Tweedie
Mark McLoughlin
Caolan McNamara
Daniel Veillard

I assume Michael Tiemann will be there, so here's a keynote number one.

Feel free to add names, including your own :)
