* License Updates
Travis has provided us a list of packages that have broken or improper licenses. This stuff is becoming more and more important, so I'd like to get some supervision here as soon as possible.
This looks like it's a task that pairs well with the core rebuild and extra cleanup. So, anyone participating in those tasks should keep this list in mind.
Travis, would it be possible to get this list on the dev wiki? Or possibly setup as a todo list?

Yeah, I can throw that up on the dev wiki or a todo list, I suppose. I don't know how to do TODOs though - can someone walk me through it please? I'll update the script I have that finds these bad licenses to do case-insensitive searches as well - that should knock off a few that're wrongly marked "bad". Oh, I guess I'll make it accept "MIT", "BSD", "Python", "zlib", and "libpng" as valid licenses, but ensure those packages reference /usr/share/licenses/ in their build function, since they have to install the modified version of the license. I'll get a new list made up shortly, in any case, and either wikify it or todo it, depending on which I know how to do by that point. ;)
* New logo competition
Travis is spearheading this competition for our new logo. Sometime this week, we should get things started, as we have all the rules down.
There is, however, a question of legality raised by Simo. http://archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2007-October/002494.html
If anyone has some insight here, it'd be helpful. We need to address this before we move forward with this competition.
Definitely needed - as I mentioned (just now) in that ML thread, I'm useless when it comes to this stuff. Help?
* ArchCon 2009: Big Baaad Idea
http://archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2007-September/001614.html
Ah ArchCon. There was a burst of enthusiasm at first, but it died down.
I wonder what country would be best? Is the rest of the world still scared to come here to the US? Or should we go to Canada?
+1 - I'll stick you all in my backyard, eh? -- Travis
