[OSM-talk] New Logo in the Wiki

[john at jfeldredge.com]

I assume that the "twice a year change" and the "funny, alliterative animal names" are references to Ubuntu Linux.  Note that, while each release of Ubuntu has its own name, the Ubuntu logo has remained unchanged for years.  I agree that the change to a new OSM logo should have been discussed, or at least announced, well in advance, not done as a surprise to everyone except whatever committee made the change.

I propose this:

 From now on, we change our logo twice a year - on 1st May and 1st 
November. That way, nobody can ever claim not to have been notified.

(I also propose that we use funny alliterative animal names for each 
release.)

Calm down. Our merchanidse is not "out of date" just because the logo 
has been touched up.
