I partially share Lcuk's thoughts, I loved participating in the co-creation session and also would like to see further brainstorming/development of the concepts .
I am Aleix Pol, I'm studying here in the FIB too and I'm a KDE developer (KAlgebra and KDevelop mainly).
I haven't done anything yet but I think it would be interesting so that's why I'd like to come.
I'm also a member of KDE Spain so if you would like to collaborate in some way that would be possible too. (we are quite some members from around that would be really nice).
It would be nice to have one known KDE application ported to Maemo. If you get a good candidate (not KOffice since they are getting already UX help from us) and have the lead developer(s) in the Long Weekend then I'm all for having one of the slots for that project. We can still sponsor 1-2 developers for this.

DigiKam?
Uhm no, I think something is already boiling for an image editor program for Maemo 6...
Proposal: Let's to have some UX love for MaStory (formerly WordPy) then. It would be ideal that ARJWright would be there too because sure he has many things to say about it, but I don't know how feasible it can be.
MyPaint, proposed in another thread. Definitely interested but we need to know whether there would be at least one developer bringing it to Maemo 5. Usability?
Mapper. Alberto Mardegan registered today. Are there more developers interested? Will anybody put navigation there? Usability?
Conboy is interesting for concepting imho specially if the project wants to move forward instead of being a simple replica of Tomboy. What about a metawiki where users can link URLs, local files, embed objects... or something like that. And polish the local/online link. Concepting?

Linking of URLs, email addresses and local files is already possible. Something Tomboy is doing too, btw.
Anyways, I´m open to new concepts and ideas, but in fact the problem is not the lack of ideas/vision, but the lack of developer man power. This is made worse by the fact, that I need to rewrite it using Qt.
Because of this I consider Conboy almost dead. If I want to have something ready for Maemo6 launch, I´ll have to start the rewrite soon. Probably I´ll go into bug fixing mode in early 2010, so I´m not sure if it makes sense to put "Concepting" energy into right now. Of course those concepts could be reused in the Qt version. But then we should replace the name with Cuteboy
It would be fine for me, but it would take a long time until those concepts would be visible in software.
Edit: yep definitely interested in the Usability day.
Count on this, then. I'll update the wiki this evening.
If you have other core contributors please propose them to register. I can't guarantee sponsorship since it will depend on the people invited from other projects, but the will is there.
This goes for the rest of projects taking part in the Long Weekend. The deadline for sponsorship requests is this weekend!
