And while you are there voting for your wish list, look at this one too...
https://nxtforum.org/news-and-announcements/votes-needed-should-nxt-be-a-partner-have-a-booth-at-payexpo-2015-for-15k/TL:DR Nxt was the only crytpo at the
payment conference PayExpo 2014 on London. It put Nxt alongside Barclays in the headlines, it gave Nxt a huge exposure to old world banks and financial firms (not crypto firms). Bitcoin have since expressed an interest in being their partner for 2015.

Luckily, Nxt's contract gives it first dibs for next year as long as we raise the first installment of money by Aug 3.
30% payable by August 3
30% payable in December
40% payable in May

Currently, there is overwhelming support for it but we need to crowd source more funds. So definately vote and then consider donating a few coffees/pints/magazines worth of Nxt
It would suck to Bitcoin is on the billboard next year
Go go go!
Long version:
1. NXT was the official crypto currency partner of the 2014 PayExpo in London. The cost to be a partner at the expo and have a booth and speaking time on stage is £15,000:
http://www.payexpo.com/page.cfm/ID=12. Here is John Manglaviti (Cointropolis) and Lee Gibson's (TXTcoin) talk at the PayExpo about NXT:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qOTNHIX77w3. Right now, NXT has the option to be the official crypto currency partner of the 2015 PayExpo again for £15,000. The deadline to make this payment and reserve the partnership and have a booth is June 28th. If NXT is not a partner then the Bitcoin Foundation will probably fill the void and be the crypto partner.
4. £15,000 is only the "partner & booth" cost. The hotel/flight cost of sending representatives from the NXT community to the payexpo will also incur additional cost but there will be a year to raise funds for the this. Right now, if the community wants NXT to be at the 2015 PayExpo again, we will need to raise approximately £15,000 in NXT.
5. Please leave your "yes" or "no" decision including a reason for your decision.
6. Donations will also be needed to fund this decision. if you would like to donate nxt to fund this event, please state the amount of nxt you will commit to this event in your comment. Once there is enough "yes" votes and enough nxt donations, I will provide a receiving nxt address to receive the funds and pay the payexpo folks.
7. Myself, QBTC, Damelon, and Uniqueorn are the folks involved in this matter.
8. If the majority of community votes is "no" we will notify the PayExpo people we are not interested and will not pursue this matter any further.
9. If the majority of the community vote "yes", and there is enough donation commitments from the community, then we will proceed accordingly. If the majority vote is "yes" but there is not enough donation commitments coming in, then we will close the issue and not pursue this matter any further.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:
10. Several prominent people in the community are available to convert the donations into fiat off exchange so it will not have an artificial effect on the price of NXT in the case we have enough donations for the event.
11. Please be sure to submit your vote at the top of this post so your votes can be tallied.
Thanks for your input in this matter.
