I am probably going to use 
http://www.flickr.com/photos/opensourceway/6082519627/in/photostream/lightbox/ 
for one of them, and thinking of yanking stuff from 
http://blog.sdziallas.com/we-had-a-posse-thanks-everybody for more, 
assuming proper licensing (Sebastian, is there a license on those photos 
of yours? I can't find one.)

So, I'm going to worry first about getting the content tweaked because 
right now it is really awful made-up filler. I'd love help with a few 
things:

* Pictures and images. Specifically, we need:
** A header graphic that doesn't say "promotional teflon kittenbasket"
** Photos of TOS people doing TOS things (I think I have these, though)

* Suggestions for better filler text than what is currently on 
http://mchua.fedorapeople.org/tosredesign/ -- I'm running out of 
TOS-time for tonight, but the next time I have to work on this, I will 
get source up on github so it's easier to fork/tweak.

* Tweaks to the css files to incorporate improvements/suggestions (for 
instance, if you think there shouldn't be yellow for <strong> tags 
outside the header, poke that rule in). 
https://github.com/ianweller/promotional-teflon-kittenbasket -- thanks 
to Karsten for posting his fork as an example, 
https://github.com/quaid/tosw-theme.

* This is undoubtedly a stupidly simple question, but I don't know, off 
the top of my head, how to automatically pull in data from the 3 latest 
planet posts and the 3 next events 
(http://teachingopensource.org/index.php/Main_Page does, but it's 
mediawiki transclude magic). I assume it's "put PHP in here somewhere" 
and imagine that if I google "how to parse feeds" I'll be able to figure 
out the Planet stuff, but being pointed to the right doc/tutorial will 
save a lot of time. And the events part stumps me -- maybe we need to 
actually stick them into something (gcal?) that actually generates a 
calendar feed, then yank that?
