[FOSS4G2016] Webpage and Logo - Wishes for Changing

[till.adams at fossgis.de]

Hallo Matthias,

das mal in deutsch, weil es mir dann leichter fällt, das zu schreiben, 
was wir besprochen haben:

1. Das Ende des Rhein-Ribbons noch spitz auslaufen lassen
2. uns zeigen, wie man das Hintergrundbild ändert
3. Das OSGEO LOGO muß irgendwie mit dadrauf. Idealerweise mit einem 
Text:

s. Mail Arnulf:
Any of the following asa tag line on the first big logo would work:
"The OSGeo conference"
or
"Hosted by OSGeo"
or
"Proudly presented by OSGeo"

With "OSGeo" as the logo and linked to the OSGeo website. Same font as
"Welcome to Germany!", opposite side on the bottom of the FOSS4G logo.


Und das aus Gert-Jans Mail würde ich auch berücksichtigen:
6. At least until the end of FOSS4G-2015 a temporal reference to the
> 2015-site
> 10. "August 22th - 27th" should read "August 22nd - 27th". Or even 
> better:
> 22nd - 27th August (which is more European-English style, as opposed 
> to the
> American style with month in advance)

> 11. Regarding the dates: I tend to use the core-conference dates as 
> the main
> dates to show, and to use  extra lines for the pre-conf workshops and
> post-conference sprints

Da stimme ich zu: Daten der Kernkonferenz reichen. Also 24.-26.8.2016

     If this addition is needed, why not include the text "Germany" in 
the
> logo itself: the text would then read something like: Bonn - Germany 
> -
> August 2016

Ich würde das Germany auch herausnehmen. Ersetzen wir gegen OSGEO LOGO 
und Text (s.o.)

> 27.  2016

Jepp. Stimme zu.


Das können wir selber machen:
> 12. Add an "about"-entry in the menu: "about FOSS4G", "about 
> FOSSGIS",
> "about OSGeo.org", "about Bonn", "about you"


Unschlüssig bin ich bei den 10 Jahren. Da frage ich gleich nochmal 
Jeff, hatte bei den Protländern gesehen, die hatten auch was mit den 10 
Jahren.... ::
> 3. Somehow add a reference to 10 years of FOSS4G

Das finde ich ehrlich gesagtn iocht so gut. Wenn wir es eh schon da 
haben, dann ist das der Zustand, den wir haben:
> 7. Something in order to make clear this in work-in-progress. E.g. 
> cover the

> design




Soweit waren das bisher lale Wünsche.
