Well, I don't have anything specific I'd like to hear, and plus I volunteered to man the Hamakor booth at Go-Linux so I may not have the time to hear too many lectures. Whatever, people here volunteer to give will be good by me. The worst case scenario is that I won't attend these lectures. Note that I've prepared material for lectures that I've given in the past in different forums and placed it online here: http://vipe.technion.ac.il/~shlomif/lecture/ Feel free to re-use them! Regarding the keynote speaker on behalf of the Israeli FOSS community, I suggest either Shachar Shemesh, Gil'ad Ben-Yossef or Ori Idan. That's because all three of them are capable speakers with good presence in front of an audience, and because they all have some (at least unofficial) authority within the community.
