    Here's a transcript: http://libreplanet.org/wiki/GN...

    And an article written about the keynote: http://www.networkworld.com/ar...

    (Thanks to 2 AC's for pointing these links out.)

    The whole event was recorded and streamed, so the keynote video should be available some time soon.

    (I can't see any reason why the article summary didn't include the link.)
