There are two kanban app in Sandstorm. I'm far from the keyboard now, but I'll create both documents in storm.debian.net and will send here the share URLs (fancy deb.li ) in a few hours ;)
But!! I never used kanban and have no idea about it (apart from being this coloured stickers thing for management). I just want to help providing a free software based infrastructure for the system people needs. If it does not fit, move to trash.

I've copied my proposal-description about "Debconf Publicity" to the Wiki, my plan was to add it to the DebConf manual, and then create one more wiki page "debconf16 publicity" for the organization of this year. That dc16-publicity would be linked both from the general publiciy wiki page in the manual, and from the general timeline or tasks page from debconf16.
That was my idea, but I can adapt to whatever people chooses.
