Good news on the keynote speaker activity. James has confirmed with Arundhati Roy's agent that she is available and he is undertaking to help arrange other speaking dates for her in Canada that would enable her to do our conference as part of a tour. He thinks that, with enough dates on her tour, we could get her for 15K plus a share of travel costs.
Of course, we should continue thinking about a conference-only keynote speaker in case this doesn't work out, but it's good to know that progress is being made.
