I'd like to use this opportunity to present a bit which type of mindset I'll 
have during this sprint:
 * I likely won't code much (ok, I'm still a hacker, if I get a change I'll 
take it but I'll try to refrain from it); :-D
 * I'll try to facilitate the process of creating a shared common vision for 
the desktop workspace next iteration (I hope you love games, I like to use 
those at least in the early phases);
 * Most importantly (IMO), I'm coming with a neutral position and no pre-made 
opinion on what should be result.

It definitely won't be an exercise of pushing my own agenda or pet features. 
And I strongly advise anyone attending to do the same. If you come with a list 
of pet features or an agenda you'll just hinder any effort to produce a 
*shared* vision in general, and one which respects the current project culture 
in particular[*].

Sorry if it seems like noise, but I thought it could be worth reminding 
everyone involved in order to have a productive sprint. :-)

Regards.

[*] The KDE Workspace and the sub-community around it has an history going 
back to the early KDE 1 betas. If you think you can have a clean slate and 
ignore that completely, IMO you're fooling yourself.
