[Eg-oversight-board] Keynote speakers

[Stephen Wills]

Awesome choices!   Given the nature of my thinking lately about  
Evergreen as a community more than as software I'm biased toward Jono  
personally.   I agree as well with Rogan's observation that this  
Keynote might lend something unique to this community gathering.  I  
would learn a lot on either path, of course.

Thanks again,
Steve Wills
