[Patrik Bubák <bubapa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Alfredo mentioned, that the Gnome board usually works very slow and if
we'd wait for them we would wait quite long since they have their own
things to take care of and it might be long overdue our release of 15.10
before they respond. We would like to make it on time. It would also
look very awkward when everyone talks about it, but no word is heard
from us.

We  talked about it and concluded, that there is not much for them to
approve. They in fact can be glad, that we are no longer using their
logo to represent ourselves, because the roundel was causing the
headache and the new roundel eliminates all confusion when used as a
standalone, which was the main goal of this project.

In the end it is not for them to decide what we choose to use as our
logo unless it is somehow in conflict, which it was until now, but not
any more. 

The "GNOME" wordmark, that has been discussed is without a change and
something they agreed on before. This change is primarily about the
roundel with which we are doing them a favour.

If you need to wait for a statement from Alfredo then all right, wait
until tomorrow at least because he is travelling, but you'll hear the
same from him.

Nothing ruins creativity like too many voices weighing in. We call it
the Ice Cream Principle. Tell 10 people to go get ice cream with one
condition: they all have to agree on one flavour. That flavour is going
to be chocolate or vanilla every time. Groups of people don't agree on
what's cool or interesting, they agree on what's easy to agree on.
