In accordance with my action item after today's meeting, I have a
revised first-draft of the "Collaboration Across Borders" paragraph.  I
want to tighten and clean it up a bit more, but wanted to go ahead and
post it here to let you all see the direction I'm going in and give you
an opportunity to call me an idiot.  :-)

Collaboration Across Borders

This year's theme of collaborating across borders highlights the spirit
of openSUSE and our goal of working closely with upstream projects and
neighbor distributions.  Tearing down the borders that separate projects
so we can all work together to further the benefits of open source for
everyone and strengthen lasting relationships.

Below, you will find proposed categories that you may wish to present
in, or you may suggest a topic that is not listed.
