As a keynote speaker for Cephalocon 2020, I would like to recommend Professor Yeom in Seoul National University(SNU) for two reasons. (https://dblp.org/pers/hd/y/Yeom:Heon_Young)
First of all, Prof. Yum is one of the few distributed storage system experts in Korea who has published a number of outstanding research papers that have been recognized by major academic conferences such as ATC, FAST etc. In addition, he is interested in Open Source, and many of his students, including myself, are now working for the related industries. Therefore, it is helpful for Professor Yeom's presence to raise Ceph's status.
Secondly, as the Ceph conference will be held in here, Korea, it is necessary to select a keynote speaker considering the sentiments of Koreans. The attendance of academic experts as keynote speakers is better for attracting Koreans' attention and participation than focusing on related industry speakers. Moreover, considering the status of Seoul National University in Korea, Professor Yeom will be the best option.
I think this sounds like a great option... what does everyone else think? (Note that Myoungwon is conflicted has he is a student there and has published papers with these professors.)
If you agree with me, please check which of the keynote date will be available. Also, if I get the response from NAVER folk, I will certainly let you know.
We can keep NAVER as a regular talk. And probably keep that last final slot on Thursday, unless we have more talks drop out?
