I like to see one with all the abstracts and bios (like all other conferences have) probably with photos and probably also listing other GNOME people that may not be speakers. That's a bit hard to gather and sort out in a limited time without missing some people out, but is more useful than say two or three interviews that nobody reads on paper these days anyway... We can put something like Glynn's 101 Things About GNOME talk from last year there.. or other 'things about GNOME' kind of lists... For bonus, add more humour. There are lots of interesting ideas, for example, list Top lists of various activities during the past year. Top bug fixer / opener / patch submitter / committer / mailing list poster / .... These things can be easily extracted if you contact the right people. Another idea that we definitely don't have enough time for is to ask every developer to identify other developers they regularly work with or contact, and create an informal relationships map.
