Hi Stefano, thank you for the welcome and your informative reply.
If I get it right because of licensing issues with derivations we shouldn't use the logo with the usual "debian" on it. So we practically left with two options: 1) do not use the well known original type-design for writing "debian" or 2) do not use the name "debian" on our proposal-layouts at all. Am I right with this assumption? I couldn't find a deadline for submissions. Does this mean, that there isn't a clear deadline yet (if there will be one)? It's interesting that on the debian.net board nobody seems to know that Gnome 3 is the expected default desktop. But maybe I just found a very old thread...
