While I like the idea of having something of a theme in the 
presentations, I would not like to see people feeling they shouldn't 
talk if they don't have something to say about some collaborative 
effort. I think it's always good to hear about new things going on with 
the various graphics projects, such as Richard Hughes talking about 
ColorHug for example.

Another thought is having something like poster presentations one 
day/afternoon with materials pinned up to large bulletin boards, the 
idea being to get small groups and individuals discussing some topic of 
interest to the presenter. We have typically had lightning talks, of 
course, but this would be less formal, and more flexible.

At any rate, it's a matter of thinking about new things to do, new ways 
of sharing information.
