Too narrow a topic.
The keynotes need to be about things that appeal to everyone.
Forgive me, as I am not privy to the nuances of etiquette on this list, but I am surprised to see this response to the suggestion. I can see the point about potential lack of general appeal (though I have found those with very specialized skills sets who labor in obscurity to have the best and most original stories to tell), though I hope it does not alter the desire to suggest others for the keynote.
Maybe I'm an outlier on the list, not being from the MidAtlantic area, and this is normal for y'all. If so, please ignore, and my apologies. I thought I should relate, as the list is sometimes the only lens some of us have to view the group.

Jim -- We're always happy to hear from you. For the Friday classes, we have how-to talks; these are quite technical and topic-specific by design. But there is a single keynote on Saturday and Sunday. These need to have wide general interest.
