yes, saw them and used some of them in the campaign draft.

TBH I want us to get some general support for doing a sprint without much
attached. We have provided already a lot for free what is used by ten-thousands
of companies and individuals. 

But if we go for voting let's keep it for three options, maybe:

- speed/performance/xdist
- improved fixture system 
- documentation, more examples

I did include the pytest logo and the group picture we took at fosdem or
EP2015. It just doesn't show in the draft, does it?

i mentioned it know in "role".

Makes sense. Maybe even as a tag line "pytest-sprint 2016, accelerate
pytest-3.0"?
