Yes, a very warm welcome from my side as well - welcome to LibreOffice!

Before I start, I'd like to thank you for providing the BSA artwork and
having the patience to listen to our questions and comments concerning
the branding stuff. Especially, since we finally need to put everything
in one place ... :-)

Since Loic CCed the Design Mailing list, let's shed a bit light on that.
The LibreOffice Design team consists of volunteers who work on User
Experience (e.g. Usability) and Visual Design topics. Personally, I'm
more the "interaction design" guy ... so your support was highly
appreciated (thanks to Loic for organizing that).

If you want to get in touch with us, here is the still "drafty" Design
Team wiki page - there you'll also find information for subscribing to
our mailing list (if you like):
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design

That's all from my side ...

Cheers,
Christoph
