A few ideas off the top of my head: * Celebrating GNOME 3.0. 2011 has been a big year for GNOME; the summit will be a chance for contributors to congratulate one another on their achievement. * Reviewing progress towards 3.2 and looking at the exciting new technologies that are in development, such as our new documents interface and the new GNOME Contacts framework. * Welcoming our new Executive Director and the new Foundation Board. :) (Not exactly 'discussion' points, I know...)
