Nathan's a good speaker. It would be good to know if we intend to ask 
him to do this, since it will affect how many papers we accept.

Another idea for a keynote would be Peter Sikking [1]. He's the lead 
designer for the GIMP, and has recently launched an open usability 
manifesto [2]. I think he could give a good talk on open source design, 
and is based in Berlin.
