No official logo approval. For having clear and concise communication about the project and what it provides to first time visitors feel that will be the most important part of the homepage. We went through similar conversation bit over a year ago when working through the flyer design and the number one thing in most conversations, and presentation q&a's is usually along lines of "who is using it" and "what do you do with it". The resounding way to communicate that has been to say "x,y,z use it as a base to build their distributions and custom component versions/packages...".
I can take on task of getting approvals, and can add a related/dependent jira for the main site one -----Original Message----- From: Olaf Flebbe [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, May 16, 2016 1:50 PM To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: new bigtop website Hi Nate, I like the design very much! The big tents are very good! But I would refrain from using the logos in the "powered by" section. Do we have have permissions to use these trademarks? AFAIK we do not.

I based the initial design on ideas flushed out mid/late last year and borrowing from the bigtop flyer we have been using the past 12+ months at various events, as well as the workshop site/content I setup for some past conference related events. As such, the content is all in flux, including menu at top, this is meant to get the ball rolling > > Initial rev of design and homepage mock can be found here: > > http://kaiyzen.github.io/bigtop/ > > It is currently setup as a github pages project. Given some feedback on the list ways back with asf supporting it, and the great tooling around Jekyll, figured it was easiest for my dev and collaboration efforts.

The rest of this week will be some minor tweaks to design and fixing some cross browser and mobile related layout issues (mobile friendly on day 1 is the goal), as well as starting to flush out the template/framework for getting started content
