Something I wanted us to try was the idea of "convergence days", where we'd publish a data file quietly which would say "on such and such a date, try to be as close to this as possible", specifying the position and parameters of the various effects / lights / features. That way, we'd have weeks of divergence, then a "rush to convergence" over say 5 days, so on a particular day everyone's desktop looks the same again.

So you are suggesting Ubuntu may receive it's own nightsky? Constellations are a beautiful idea, cultures all over the planet (and perhaps all over other planets also) have been aware of constellations at all times, one of the oldest human observations at all.
