Whiteboard
[rrnwexec] 05-07-12
We may want to consider categorizing events and then grabbing photo streams for each category presented as slideshows. (e.g. Ubuntu Hour, Global Jam, InstallFests, *Real* Parties, etc.) That would give people visual examples of how to design social events.

Add team planets to each team page
Change 'LoCo Council' to 'Governance' - folks seemed happy with the current title
