I plan on announcing the GUADEC 2007 Call for Papers in the next day or so, so I want everyone to put their thinking caps on and consider giving a talk this summer. There are several topics I'd like to see a good set of talks on:

• 10x10. How are we doing on the 10x10 plan: this includes feedback from people who have done large deployments, to people working on making GNOME work in the enterprise, and people putting GNOME in embedded devices.
• Integration. GNOME needs tighter integration within itself, be this showing presence in relevant applications, integrating chat/voip into the desktop, and tighter integration between applications. Do you have a cool application that makes GNOME easier to use, or something that integrates applications, documents, and people into a cohesive whole?
• Future. Lots of new code is being written, do you have anything interesting? A replacement for gnome-vfs, progress on Project Ridley, a new implementation of something fundamental like the panel?
