Hi Bernhard and especially Drew

We are really down to nit-picking but some of these points do seem valid.

I agree with this. I would give first place setting in the list to the 
ODF logo. LibreOffice and ODF have a strong bond and we should be 
actively promoting the ODF even at marketing booths. After all, this is 
what makes the LibreOffice formats so dependable.

The other logos should show up in secondary placement on the lists. I am 
not sure that the ODF would be happy to know that we have created a new 
logo just as I am pretty sure that we would not be happy to find that 
another organisation would have created another logo to fit their 
documentation.

We should try as much as possible to fit in a proper ODF and SVG logo. I 
noticed on the SVG site that they make use of different logos. We could 
leave a note with the W3C-SVG people to see if they have a logo (with 
descriptor) available on their site (http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/) 
(Note that there is one at the top of that page.). Not really sure where 
to get ODF logo versions. Where did you get your ODF version? I couldn't 
find any ODF site with an ODF logo.

I also agree with this. Not too sure if I missed a conversation on this 
while I was away but ... are we not part of the LibreOffice-Box team? 
Was there a decision to go without the subline or are we just waiting 
for an approval? We also seem to be spearheading/setting an example for 
an English version of an international EN-box DVD version. I would love 
to see the logo with TDF subline on the NA Community DVD. It adds 
validity to the project.

Thanks for doing this Bernhard.
