Visit https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Elections#IRC_Town_Halls for information on how to participate and pose questions to the candidates. 01:52:10 I'm looking for a Fedora polo shirt not unlike the ambassador ones, just without "Ambassador" on them. Recommendations? ;) 01:52:28 gholms: check out StabbyMc's dress shirts 01:52:29 gholmes: we have a button up shirt like that, but not a polo 01:52:50 you will get feedback that every day possible is horrible for 20 other people 01:53:04 StabbyMc: Have a link handy? 01:53:10 #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/ButtonUp 01:53:55 Dang, it's white. I'll phone them up and see what they can do. Thanks! 01:54:28 gholms: white is the only approved color we've done. They could probably make you a black one, but don't know how the logo will pop on it. 01:54:35 * slipp3d bookmarks that ... 01:54:38 * gholms is looking for blue 01:55:18 gholms: I wanted black, but was happy with white because most people wear them with either jeans or khakis. With jeans, blue shirts look silly. 01:55:28 'Tis true. 01:55:39 very true 01:55:45 Ok, I'm going to go ahead and call the meeting 01:55:52 Heh, thanks, folks. 01:55:58 We can move back over to #fedora-ambassadors for more discussion. 01:56:06 FESCo townhall, for those interested, in 4 minutes :) 01:56:10 gholms, per the logo guidelines When the logo is used on a background that is darker than 50% grey, you should reverse the type to white for legibility: 01:56:12 sounds good 01:56:20 http://fedoraproject.org/w/uploads/8/86/Logo_UsageGuidelines_logodarkbg.png 01:56:21 nb: Of course. 01:56:21 #endmeeting
