Sounds good. I can do a "news blog" like I did last time. > Any details anyone can suggest, I'll write up with suitably clear > grammar/spelling and so forth. (Meaning actual content) > > Logo? I have a prelim picture I was just using to fill in some gaps I > can send along. I'm thinking of making the motto of this one some variant of "Science Fiction and Open Source". (Not _specifically_ Linux, since we've got Linux in the name this time... If it was in the motto as well, we'd be squeezing out Apache, Postgresql, MacOS X, etc.) Our last logo game from around page 10 of this: http://old.lwn.net/Gallery/ Basically, I contacted the people who did the tux in a red shirt logo (federation shuttlecraft agusta ada) and asked 'em if I could use their logo. There are plenty of others to choose from, and somebody's bound to be reasonable... There are a couple of decent ones on the first page, but too small. (Maybe we could get bigger copies by contacting the source.) You may notice one on page 9 (rurilinux, done by fred gallagher of megatokyo) that wouldn't be bad for the Masquerade logo. But probably not the main con... Merlin software technologies has one on page 12... Magic software on page 14...

It would be nice if we had somebody on staff who knew their way around photoshop. It would be perfect to have Tux emerging from the tardis, or with elf ears, or... http://images.google.com/images?q=tardis This guy would be good, if we can afford him or talk him into doing it in exchange for a link... http://www.barelyfitz.com/3d/ > Troy Rob
