Well I guess we should start asking people to put banners to their blogs
and present at their local Linux User Groups. GNOME Shell is pretty
stable at the moment (well my experience, ymmv). Having people starting
to explain the differences, showcase and explain how to install from git
all over the world right now would be nice and helpful to start building
critical mass for release date and target a less geeky audience.

Hi folks,
First of all, allow me to apologize if this isn't the appropriate list
for this topic; I was debating between this list and the tango-artists
list, but since this concerns a gnome-icon-theme issue I thought this
list might be more appropriate.
That being said, in Fedora we recently received a complaint about the
security-high icon (attached for convenient reference.) The complaint
regarded the use of the Christian cross symbol in the upper/center
region of the icon.
I filed the bug in GNOME bugzilla under gnome-icon-theme here:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=634940
Is this the appropriate way to handle the bug do you think? Let me know
what you think. As I mentioned in the bug, I'm happy to modify the icon
if needed (I'm thinking maybe instead of a cross, use a cloverleaf
design?)

Alright, first let me preface with I am not any kind of authority for GNOME
or GNOME themes. I'm more or less just a list listener. And now to be plain,
this does not seem like an issue, as anybody may change any icon on their
system at any time. How is this a defect? No flames please, I am really
asking the question. Perhaps you could forward the original complaint to the
list. Or it may not be necessary as you've already filed a defect in
Bugzilla.
Thanks.
Nathan

Yes they can, but they shouldn't have to. What they see out-of-the-box is not their choice, so it behoves us to ensure that none of our default language or imagery can be construed as offensive to anyone on the grounds of race, gender, religion, or anything else for that matter. (For anyone who's been around long enough, cf. the prolonged debate about using national flags to depict locales...)
Cheeri,
Calum.

Since we already have options / proposals of GNOME 3.0 logos / banners,
should we initiate a marketing / art team irc meeting to vote / finalize
which GNOME 3.0 logo / messages to use and talk about banners as well?
