Michael: I don't want to start a flame about FS vs OSS, but I think that FS is more appropiated than OSS because GNOME is part of GNU project [1] Another thing is that I'm not sure if GUADEC is GNOME User and Developer European Conference anymore Anyone can enlight this issue ?

Re: [guadec-list] GUADEC 2007 - POS
Hi Dave, Last year Quim suggested to use The GNOME Conference as the title, and 2006 - Vilanova... as a sub-title. In fact, he had the great idea to make a new brand, The GNOME Conference, and convinced us to use it. You may have seen my design with Vilanova 2006 on the Linux Magazine [2], that was before we decide about the title. I can send you the logs of the irc channel if you like. BTW I suggest to use something like this: -- G U A D E C The GNOME Conference 2007 - Birmingham -- And about the font, we had same situation. We planed a graphic irc meeting, and decided about the font and colors. Using special font and colors was another part of the branding. I was thinking about having new colors for each year (as it used to be), but Quim just told to let next-year organizers decide about it. But we all agreed to use MgOpen Cosmetica [1] typeface for the new title. So I think a lot of people expect to see The GNOME Conference in Cosmetica typeface, as it's on the header of the website already. Maybe it's possible to use the new typeface only for Birmingham 2007 text, when it's not beside the main title, The GNOME Conf The typeface of BIRMINGHAM 2007 is really nice, and I like it, but it breaks the thread of making of The GNOME Conference. I'm OK with using new colors for this year, personally. You can find my customized colors for Catalonia/Spain in the gallery of guadec.org. Oh, I forgot to mention that we used same typeface [1] for the www.guadec.org too. Well, that's it. So please just don't use multiple titles, like GUADEC 2007, 8th Edition, etc. And just another hint about using the GUADEC logo. Please put a white background and border for the logo itself, and the titles under it. The way you used it on GUADEC9.pdf makes it look like an incomplete job. Well, the designs are interesting and creative. I like them.

Currently the home says GUADEC (pronounced GWAH-DEC) is an acronym for the GNOME Users' And Developers' European Conference. In fact last year we decided to get rid of the acronym, in the best GNOME style. Now GUADEC means The GNOME Conference. This is the background of that slogan. :) -- Quim Gil /// http://desdeamericaconamor.org ___ guadec-list mailing list guadec-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/guadec-list
