Another one, that I think I raised somewhere else before that isn't
really UDS specific.

We could have a competition for the best new Ubuntu app, along the
lines of PyWeek[1]. Give people a week to write an app that meets the
suggested theme. We could also take the work from PyWeek and promote
it in the Software Center, if it comes to that.

Although in some ways it would be nice for that week to be UDS week,
UDS is about high-bandwidth conversations for planning the next
release of Ubuntu, not for hacking. We could, however, award prizes at
the next UDS for a competition that takes place sometime in this
cycle.
