Re: [IAEP] [Marketing] Soliciting SoaS v.4 Codename Colour Suggestions
Thanks everybody for the proposals thus far. I've converted them into a table for a better overview [1]. Please keep in mind that Sugar has a defined color palette for its logo, too [2]. --Sebastian [1] http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick_meetings#Agenda [2] http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Marketing_Team/Logo#Color_Palette On Fri, Jun 4, 2010 at 11:41 PM, Outofindia outofin...@gmail.com wrote: Jambul also known as Jamun in India and by others name in different parts of the world. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jambul A medicinal fruit/plant/tree.

I believe the themeing for SoaS is Icecream and not berries. I vote for vanilla or Cookies Cream :-P Peter On Fri, Jun 4, 2010 at 10:00 AM, Bert Freudenberg b...@freudenbergs.de wrote: Gooseberry.

Sebastian, I guess you want to drop the name we had chosen together previously, Cloudberry? If you remember we had wanted to underline collaboration and connectivity, and decided to postpone that name when we realized that it was too ambitious for this release.
