If you can suggest a better place I'm all ears :)
Maybe it's time to create a GUADEC Organisation Howto.  :)
Agreed. You should also look at http://live.gnome.org/GuadecPlanning 
which is our collected know-how from organising GUADECs.
http://live.gnome.org/GuadecPlanning/CheckList is a bunch of questions 
which need to be answered before we know we're finished. There is not an 
order or size or priority associated with the tasks, though.
Proposing 3 tracks:

- Meeting the users

- Approaching GNOME 3.0

- Collecting toughest bones
<snip> Perhaps it needs another formulation to make it clear what we're 
looking for, but these sound great.
I'm all for opening up the process and having people suggest topics
and/or speakers. But any topic we choose for presentation must have a
speaker associated.
Well, I would say that anyone may suggest anything. Some people may have
 in mind a very good topic, others may have a very good speaker.
Collaboration and selection do the rest.
I mean, the process is
* Someone suggests a presentation topic (and says whether they're going to present it or not) * If they're not, someone else has to say "I would like to do a presentation on that topic" before we select it for the schedule. Selecting topics without presenters won't work.
For instance, I'm thinking in
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manuel_Castells . He is incresingly
interested in the free software phenomena, he is a very good speaker and
I think that an early invitation for an on-topic keynote for the GUADEC
would be enough to let him choose the topic.
Great. Sounds good. Keynotes usually decide themselves what they are 
going to present, though.
Cheers,
Dave.
