you can do save image as on that


Is it just me, or is the page a little bare as compared to dconf2013/14?

It's not you, it's me :o).

All - contributions to the website dconf.org are gladly welcome. This is 
a place when a little work can have a big and immediate impact.


If half of the energy devoted to just bickering in this group would be 
put to good use, we could move mountains. Please, we need your work. Thanks.

Me too. I don't think a complete re-brand of D is needed for the

Changing the logo will mean that all sites containing this logo 
i.e. main site, wiki's, documentation, blogs, etc. will need to 
be updated too or major confusion will arise to what exactly this 
conference is about.

E.g I see a reference to the Interstallar movie as it was the 
best movie of 2014 for me ;)

http://www.wired.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Interstellar_ALT_Artowrk-660x1030.jpeg



I liked Interstellar but that happy ending was so far-fetched I 
would have preferred the film to end before it.


Many inspirations:

The font is different compared to the PNG in the zip. The one

I find the new font as fitting as the old one.
But the PNG render is too high-res for the web.

Shouldn't the logo look at least somewhat similar to the one on

It shouldn't just be similar, it should be the same one I feel.

The new logo is pretty snazzy though!

I have counted the PyCon websites and indeed more than half of 
them have _some_ reference to the Python logo, either in form or 
colour.


http://pyconuk.org/
http://www.pycon.kr/2014/

What I could do is add two circles like the D logo.

I think this is ok to change the DConf logo every year. Something 
recognizable, but also something that represent this specific 
DConf.
