Secondly, as the Ceph conference will be held in here, Korea, it is necessary to select a keynote speaker considering the sentiments of Koreans.

We can keep NAVER as a regular talk. And probably keep that last final slot on Thursday, unless we have more talks drop out?
If Naver were to upgrade to Gold sponsorship, they'd get a brief talk as well ;-) Regards, Lars -- SUSE Software Solutions Germany GmbH, MD: Felix Imendörffer, HRB 36809 (AG Nürnberg) "Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes." -- Oscar Wilde
