Keynote

What is a keynote? In this kind of event a keynote or plenary talk is the moment where everything is halted. Even though during the day there are talks in different rooms, when keynotes happen everybody is met in the same room, for example in an auditorium to listen to a well-known speaker. In general, the speaker is some international guest of relevance in the topic being treated.

At PyConAr 2010 the keynotes speakers were Leah Culver about the Python's Zen applied to business ventures and Christiano Anderson about MongoDB.
