----------------------------------------------

I have attached your ZIP, you can do it too ... in the main menu of each Issue > More Actions > Attach Files

I have reviewed your logos, however I think if there is a new logo it should actually replace the current one.
The current logo is "Apache OpenMeetings" + the "Apache-feather" on the top - left. So if there is a new logo there should be only one. Also the Logo has to include the "Apache" style pr text somehow, see for example the new "Apache Flex" logo: http://incubator.apache.org/flex/ or their other proposals: http://incubator.apache.org/flex/logo-contest.html

I think on the current white space on the top-right of the incubator website there should be some popular links, for example: Demo-Server / Downloads / Jira / Source

And we could make some stylish buttons for the links. However I had no tmie yet to make such stylish buttons.

We should also then discuss which main colors to use.
Currently the main menu has the colors: #1484E6, #2293F7, #000088

The color #000088 is the connection between the color of the menu and the color of the Apache Feather.

In that sense a potential restyle of the logo would affect the whole website. So if we are going to change the logo the rest of the website has to fit with the logo.

Potential buttons for the top right bar also should either contrast nicely to those colors or be inline ... OR we completely change everything based on a new logo ... everything is possible however it needs to be co-ordinated.

Thanks!
Sebastian

> Hi Sebastian,
> As all we know, OpenMeetings is a software basically of video and audio.
> Therefore would be in line enhance the image of Apache OpenMeetings pages
> offering visitors a point where rest their eyes after reading.
> Perhaps it would be refreshing to the eye put a OpenMeetings logo at the header of the main page. 
> You can see an example here:
> https://cwiki.apache.org/OPENMEETINGS/tutoriales-en-espaol-relacionados-con-openmeetings.html
> ...as well as update the icons at this page:
> https://cwiki.apache.org/OPENMEETINGS/
> I love OpenMeetings as you, therefore want OM look as beautiful as be possible.
> Other beneficial point woul be rename the title VMWare at the page:
> http://incubator.apache.org/openmeetings/installation.html
> ...to:
> VMWare - Iso Live DVD
> ...because thinking as a normal user computer as i am, if found only VMWare title (not now)
> could not imagine in that paragraph were a live iso dvd, but the most of the people know 
> what is a live dvd.
> OpenMeetings have the means to help users just have to show them and remind them,
> For it would be wise to remember every three weeks or so, where they can get the iso
> live dvd through a post on the list, that with your permission i will write.
> These are ideas only.
> I have an image composition that show how can look the main page with a logo.
> Send to you by mail because here is no way tu upload.
> Thank you!
