[Alfredo Hernández <aldomann.designs@xxxxxxxxx>]

Actually we have a brainstorming team in Launchpad.net:
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntugnome-brainstorming/, the
brainstorming session hasn't started yet for this cycle, but should start
in no time :)
As you might observe in any brainstorming element, there's a place for
discussion and tasks's progress.

Of course, these ideas start from all the individual members of Ubuntu
GNOME, so anyone can contribute with ideas. Ali will let us know when the
brainstorming session starts in the main mailing list, so stay tuned.
