I like the idea of daily keynotes (and possibly theming the events of the day from it). And I also think they'd provide an initiative to get up :-) And there is video too. So I'd rather be in favor of keynotes at 10 or 11... - IOW: make the key notes the second event of a day. As to the original request: I wonder why this keynote is not delivered at a Ubuntu conference and then streamed and recorded. IMO that would send a different message than quite late asking for a prominent slot in *our* schedule. That said, I support the idea of sponsors buying slots (if the topic fits). If Canonical (who is the "commercial sponsor of ubuntu") doesnt want to become a platinium sponsor, the Shuttleworth or Ubuntu Foundation could also become that. Or yours truly, Mark :) And still, I also support Martins request to want to know what this keynote should be about before comitting to it. regards, Holger
