"Wacky" keynote speaker/after dinner speaker
Posted by Barry Rowlingson on February 8, 2013
Someone mentioned Michael Palin on the webex as a speaker. How about:

he's presented shows such as "Coast" and "Map Man". I don't know if he has any interest in open source. Can't find his agent, but he's on twitter...

according to wikipedia! He's written a biography of Mercator. Maybe the
sequel will be a biography of spherical Mercator?
his "Map Man" show was pretty good too:

Mike is a nice guy and his details are: mike.parker9@btinternet.com
If you are considering mike then i can contact him, if you want to make contact yourself then just let him know that i passed on his address.

I think that it's always better for a request to come from a known contact if possible, so if you were happy to do so, can you make the contact? In the first instance however lets wait for formal approval to proceed from Steve (Steve?)
PS I've also updated the Speakers List text doc - https://basecamp.com/1920286/projects/762306-foss4g-13/documents/1191978-keynote-speaker

I am happy for you to proceed however you think best. Budget would be an issue to consider but we can address that (excuse pun) after we know whether either or both are available.
