ApacheCon is for the community, so keynotes are chosen entirely on merit. Bigger audience than the regular talks, but fewer minutes, and it would be good if there are larger themes than simply what the project does.
I recommend that you submit a keynote and a regular talk. If people enjoy the keynote they will come to the regular talk to hear more details. Writing an abstract doesn’t take very long.
