I have an idea... Sam Ramji, who is now CEO of Cloud Foundry, might be a good keynote speaker. Sam was part of the initial, 1st prime movers inside MS to make them more FOSS friendly; he pushed for MS to become a platinum sponsor, and had a lot of influence both internally and externally. He then left MS and worked @ Apigee and helped w/ the donation of usergrid and now is part of LF and CF.
He's had an interesting journey and, I think, some unique views into how things have changed. He's a very good and engaging speaker as well. And I know him very, very well.
