I maintain a reference implementation of this:

    http://www.scribblethink.org/Work/VisualIDs/visualids.html

... including some patches for Nautilus (which may or may not apply
cleanly to the latest version...).

So I could talk about that, soem of the and ideas research behind it,
experiences with different application-domains, the toolkits
that I use in libvisualid (GLib and Cairo) and why, what it took to hook it
into different applications....


I became the maintainer for this about 2 years ago:

    http://www.foxtrotgps.org/

So I guess I could talk about managing (or taking over) a smallish
FOSS project, dealing with contributions (both helpful and unhelpful),
etc.


I've spent a fair amount of time hacking on StatusNet over the last year,
along with running a few small StatusNet sites.


After I built the home audio system, my wife wanted me to make
a portable version for her, so I ported (the relevant parts of)
the system to run on OpenWRT and put together a firmware-image for
the Qi Hardware Nanonote <http://en.qi-hardware.com/wiki/Ben_NanoNote>.
(`the relevant parts' are obviously not the `whole-home' part,
 but are things like ReplayGain and dynamic-range compression,
 intelligent playlist-generation, scripting MPD; Ogg Vorbis vs.
 MP3....)

You've got my attention. :)
