<br>
just some quick answers but many thanks for your points, because most of them are good ones ,-)<br>
<br>
@Matthias, I will sum up all the inputs into one mail, so no need to plot all the mails from the list ;-)<br>
<br>
For now, Matthias is supposed to be the responsible for the first shot. I do not want to take too much of his companies time, so if we need essential changes later, I'd like to pay him for that.<br>
<br>
For the content it is complete LOC's stuff - so e.g. the menu "About". Carmen has a master access and if you ask friendly, she will create one for you as well ;-)<br>
<br>
For he background image: Yes, they just took any photograph of Bonn - I want to go to make a better one, where you also see WCCB this week (not me, a friend of mine). I like thei dea of additional text and also to link to the <a href="http://2015.er" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">2015.er</a> conference.<br>
<br>
So far, Till<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br>

Till, Matthias, Dennis,<br>
<br>
Apparently I missed a junction ("Ausfahrt") along the Autobahn ... the<br>
FOSSGIS hacking weekend in Essen.<br>
I didn't realize FOSS4G-2016 was such an main theme at the FOSSGIS hacking<br>
event, otherwise I'd shown up in the Linux Hotel. (hey, the grill-buffet<br>
looked great!)<br>
Tomorrow's "Stammtisch" in Bonn will take place without me as well. We'll<br>
meet in Como<br>
<br>
<br>
Anyway....:<br>
<br>
<br>
About the logo:<br>
I knew about the first logo (designed by Dennis Hellmich).<br>
Is the new logo (by Matthias, as can be seen on <a href="http://2016.foss4g.org/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://2016.foss4g.org/</a>) the<br>
definitive successor of Dennis' logo?<br>
<br>
<br>
About the website:<br>
Hereby my dozen thoughts on the current design (<a href="http://2016.foss4g.org/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://2016.foss4g.org/</a> as<br>
of 30th June, 18.00). Some minor, some major.<br>
As always intended as positive criticism!<br>
<br>
1. I really like the professional style of the design. Not just a "extended<br>
wiki-page", but a real design!<br>
2. I'd rather have some clue added what FOSS4G is about. Part of our<br>
potential audience doesn't know what FOSS4G is.<br>
At first sight that part of the audience might think: "must be something<br>
about freight shipping. A container company perhaps? ;-)<br>
3. Somehow add a reference to 10 years of FOSS4G<br>
4. A subtitle like "Celebrating 10 years of free and open source geospatial<br>
software" might help on both 2) and 3)<br>
5. The front page focuses on the location (Rhine, Bonn). To me, FOSS4G is<br>
about bringing the people together.<br>
6. At least until the end of FOSS4G-2015 a temporal reference to the<br>
2015-site<br>
7. Something in order to make clear this in work-in-progress. E.g. cover the<br>
frontpage partly behind a scaffold, or a Pink Floyd - The Wall-like design<br>
8. The "welcome to Germany addition" seems a bit out of place. Is it for<br>
those who don't know Bonn is in Germany?<br>
If this addition is needed, why not include the text "Germany" in the<br>
logo itself: the text would then read something like: Bonn - Germany -<br>
August 2016<br>
9. Is it useful to make 2 versions of the logo: an short one (with just the<br>
graphics) and a long one (including the text Bonn - Germany - august, 22. -<br>
27. 2016<br>
10. "August 22th - 27th" should read "August 22nd - 27th". Or even better:<br>
22nd - 27th August (which is more European-English style, as opposed to the<br>
American style with month in advance)<br>
11. Regarding the dates: I tend to use the core-conference dates as the main<br>
dates to show, and to use extra lines for the pre-conf workshops and<br>
post-conference sprints<br>
12. Add an "about"-entry in the menu: "about FOSS4G", "about FOSSGIS",<br>
"about OSGeo.org", "about Bonn", "about you"<br>
<br>
As stated, I wasn't at the FOSSGIS hacking weekend, so perhaps several<br>
points mentioned here are already thoroughly discussed there. Let it be.<br>
However, I will be at the Dutch OSGeo.nl hacking day (4th July, in Enschede)<br>
where I would like to show the current design to a non-German audience.<br>
<br>
<br>
Final thought:<br>
@Matthias: are you in charge for all design issues for FOSS4G-2016. Or just<br>
for the website (and logo) for now?<br>
<br>
<br>

Onderwerp: [FOSS4G2016] Webpage and Logo<br>
<br>
Hi list,<br>
<br>
I talked to Matthias, the one who is responsible for what we till now have<br>
as logo and webpage. He told me, that they would like to finalize logo and<br>
design of the homepage (content is our business!!) on thursday, 2. of July.<br>
<br>
The webpage is already open but not announced <a href="http://2016.foss4g.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://2016.foss4g.org</a><br>
<br>
If there are any ideas or strong needs for a change beside what we now have<br>
(see below) just report it to the list or me directly:<br>
<br>
- insert OSGEO and FOSSGIS logo on startp age<br>
- minor change on the logo by letting the ribbon-rhine end up with a peak<br>
<br>
I wonder, that our dutch marketing team didn't comment on our webpage/logo<br>
for now ...?<br>
<br>
<br>
So far, Till<br>
<br>
