Because of cost limitations, I suspect there is no way we will be able to put a full color picture on the shirt. Such pictures usually don't wear as well anyway. Remember, 4 or 5 colors max. > I feel slightly alienated by the Penguin since I am a Mac OS X guy. I think we should go with penguin and daemon combo. 1) They've very recognized. 2) They'll be good conversation starters. 3) They're politically neutral, they don't represent any one company. [ 4) Although there's an effort to use the platypus for Darwin, Mac OS can be easily included in the daemon camp. ] Personally, I really liked Danelle's design. It's attention grabbing without being excessive. Perhaps we should change the phrase to "We code so you don't have to." But I think it's important to include a phrase that represents the importance of community participation. Danelle herself is Astronomy, not CS. Submitting useful bug reports, writing documentation, participating in install-fests, answering questions on the lists. All are valid forms of participation, but many of us aren't giving enough. We need to be reminded to do more. > [1] http://www-3.ibm.com/e-business/doc/content/lp/prodigy.htm You left off the "l" at the end.
