[Foss4g2009] Keynote speaker: Tim Flannery

[Cameron Shorter]

I reckon we should invite Professor Tim Flannery to be a keynote speaker 
at FOSS4G:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Flannery

Why Tim?
1. He is a highly respected Global Warming expert and activist, having 
written a number of books on the topic, and leading international 
discussion in this area.
2. He is very creditable, being awarded the very distinguished role of 
"Australian of the Year" in 2007 for his contributions to the global 
warming debate.
3. He speaks well.
4. He lives in Sydney, so I reckon we have a good chance of getting him 
to turn up, and we won't have to pay to bring him here.

What do people think?
If there is a general positive response, I'll see if I can get in 
contact with him.
