[Eg-oversight-board] Keynote speakers

[Rogan Hamby]

I rather like the idea of Jono Bacon's.  Both are relevant, and probably
great speakers, but Bacon's I think strikes a cord that may both resonate
strongly with the Evergreen community and be something that many in the
library community don't get to hear at other conferences.
