>> Two thoughts:
>> 1) it's 6 hours and 40 minutes since you posted this initial version. Please give this list some more time to have a look at it and give some comments.
>> 2) could you somehow fit the "Building Bridges" tagline into the design?
>> I know, not an easy one, cause it's more than just putting an image of the Bonner Kennedy Bridge / London's Tower Bridge / Golden Gate Bridge etc. on top of the current design.
>> In fact, the message might even be 2-folded: 1) building bridges from FOSS4Geospatial to other groups/users/communities. 2) using geospatial as the cement to connect different sorts of information.

>> Think it over, because I realize I'm about to turn this into a mission

>>> One other remark: a white background often gives the idea of just an empty sheet, with some text and pictures placed on it.
