[FOSS4G2016] Sharing marketing materials

[Anton Popov]

Sorry for coming back so late on this - my time was very limited in the
last few weeks (and still is). But if I remember correctly there is a
marketing meeting of some sort today(?) between other LOCs - so some of
the following may come in handy.

As for the style guide Gert-Jan pointed out here [1], it's been updated
with links and color/font information.

Fixed URLs:
[2] uses fixed URLs, but they are not available anymore. We could either
link directly to the SVN or the Wiki-media-files (once/if they are
there). Having URLs like in [2] would look nicer though, I think =)
In order to create a 2016 marketing page [3], I'd like to know how to
proceed here. Will static images survive on [4]?

Inspired by [2] I've put together a few banners here [5] and a preview
page there [6], where you can change the background color to simulate
the visual effect.
I did *not* create a 2016 Marketing page [3] (yet) because 1) of the
URL-issue and 2) I'd like some feedback if possible. The more I work
with the logo the more I hate it for being so difficult to put on
non-white background (or anywhere for that matter). I'm kinda frustrated
with this right now...

So if anyone has ideas on how to integrate the FOSS4G-Logo in a better
way or if anyone knows a designer who can spare a few thoughts on that
or even creates a few images/concepts him/herself, I would be very
grateful! (I know that nobody wants to do design stuff because nobody
wants to be responsible for a horrorible look, so I'm even willing to
take the blame ;)

Regards
Anton
