Hi Gao,
sorry for the long delay, I just found this mail.

Thanks you for sending in a first draft of the logo. It seems like the
conference committee did not react at all, right? I am sorry about this,
especially because we have been pushing you to get things done.

I added the logo to the Wiki page [1].

I also have some comments / questions:

* Would it be possible to increase the size of the font, so that it is
also easily readable in a smaller version? Find an example on the talk
page [2].
* We should also provide several different options, get some inspiration
from past FOSS4G conferences [3].
* Ideally you could provide the logo in the editable vector format SVG,
then rescaling, modifying, adding text and creating high quality
printouts is much easier. Alternatively EPS could also work.

We should start using the OSGeo SVN to manage the material for FOSS34G
2012. Are you familiar with OSGeo's infrastructure?

Best regards,
Arnulf
