[libreoffice-design] Re: [libreoffice-design] designing a logo for the LibreOffice conference

Hi Charles,

I haven't been able to catch up with the mails in my inbox (still about 100 to read),
but this has to be addressed, if nobody repiled in the meantime:

You're free to use any logo for private usage.

But if you want to have an offiicial LibreOffice logo for the conference, you
are *not* the entity to decide about it.

There has not been any agreement on a final draft by the Design Team.

Without this agreement there is no official logo.

And I'm quite sure that the SC would *not* have a decision on a topic 
that should be decided in a dedicated team, as long as there are no opposite 
opinions in this team hindering them from working.

Even if there is no formalized workflow in the Design Team, we believe in 
consensus or at least  broad agreement on all important topics.

If someone else decides on work in progress (even if it is a SC member), this
would resemble many of the Design Team members of the OOo community, 
where Sun/Oracle decided about nearly all central artwork in the product.

This led to a situation where nearly all gifted artists turned their back on 
OpenOffice.org. I will do anything necessary to avoid such a situation here
at LibreOffice.

So please tell us a deadline when you need the final logo (but let us at least
three days to decide internally) and you'll get a conference logo you can 
call "official".

Best regards

Bernhard
