Definitely.  Here is kind of a brain dump of just a few things I think we
could potentially tackle at said sprint:

* prepare for desktop summit (this would be insanely valuable on its own as
very little has happened on the KDE side so far)
* finish promo booklet (assuming we can get some of the folks who've been
leading the charge here to come)
* create some wiki pages for important repeatable promo tasks
    * ensure we have an up to date page with boilerplate slides for use at
conferences, LUG meetings, etc to introduce people to KDE so people don't
have to reinvent the wheel every time
    * a page for all things related to conferences that people might need,
like having all source files for flyers, stickers, install media, etc in one
spot
    * organize pages for major initiatives like ISMP ("Join the game") and
the upcoming corporate sponsorship campaign
* other misc tasks (mailing list cleanup, other wiki organization)
* team building....in other words: meet each other in person, drink beers
(or whatever you prefer), hang out

and that's just 5 minutes of solo brain storming...i'm sure there are plenty
of other valuable things we could do.  what ideas do you all have?  we can
add them to the wiki page stu created.
