Afterthought: We cannot just blissfully replace copyright notices, either. It doesn't work like that. So we need to look at the footers we are replacing and ensure that we are not crossing a line with our new one. This may mean we can't do it wholesale.

The full footer has the proper incubator symbol on the other end. The adjusted figure with the gulls over Open seems fine, since it is part of the symbolic recognition for OpenOffice.org. The asymmetry does not seem unpleasant. I would like to see the full English language footer though, and we need to know what the non-English forms are in English. This may also be an inappropriate form for notices, or else they may need to be dual-language. We'll need help to figure out what the appropriate formalities are for that, since there are legalities involved. Finally, it is the case, at the moment, that the project is Apache OpenOffice.org (incubator). Do we have a timeline for the earliest we would expect to go live with this? I'm concerned that it locks us into having the Apache project core development and the OpenOffice.org site identified in ways that are not differentiated. It is not clear to me that we have resolved this in the context of refactoring the brand (or not). Or is this limited, so far, to the pages found at OpenOffice.org and not Apache.org? - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Douglas Pitonyak [mailto:and...@pitonyak.org] Sent: Saturday, August 06, 2011 09:07 To: ooo-dev@incubator.apache.org Subject: Re: Forums footer layout ( was : Migrating the web forums at user.services.openoffice.org to Apache servers ) On 08/06/2011 11:50 AM, drew wrote: > On Sat, 2011-08-06 at 17:41 +0200, Eike Rathke wrote: >> Hi drew, >> >> On Saturday, 2011-08-06 11:27:14 -0400, drew wrote: >> >>> Ok - here is a possible footer >>> http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/w/images/c/cc/Aoo-OOo-Comm-Forum-footer.png >> <nitpick> >> The gulls should be above the Open, not Apache. >> </nitpick> > Howdy Eike > > ah, you noticed that did you. > > I can slide them back to the right, I thought it looked better with the > change, but I'll go however the group wants. > > Here is an example with the gulls back in their original slot: > > http://lo-portal.us/AOOo/aoo-podling-200x70.png > > (note that was from earlier and the word Apache is a tad too large in > that graphic..but ok for comparative use here) > > //drew > Any chance you could add little micro "smiley faces" to the gulls :-) Personally, I prefer the original. I assume, that you do not need to include the Apache feather (ashamed to admit I did not read Apache's requirements). I seem to remember more color in another version. I must be loosing my memory. -- Andrew Pitonyak My Macro Document: http://www.pitonyak.org/AndrewMacro.odt Info: http://www.pitonyak.org/oo.php
