I'd love to hear about what you feel most passionate / excited about, though for the record, I'm quite interested in Python 2/3 compatibility, PDF generation and optcomplete. You mentioned Veusz last month and it looks like an interesting project. Perhaps we could have a brief demo whatever you decide to talk about!
I'll rummage around my most recent personal projects and see if I can weigh in with a short talk to keep you company :) Looking forward to tomorrow...
