Jeez, I go away for a few days and awesomeness occurs :-)

I vote www. I know some people who are still puzzled by web addresses that 
lack a www (true)

Cunning :-) I did mean to ask about this a while ago, but I probably forgot

Ok. On the other designs:

- I really like the heart/person logo of Eugene's (uploaded already).
- I love the concept in the open window design, but I would like a bit more \
of  an obvious "KDE" thing on it (perhaps the logo - yes I know it has \
www.kde org  on it). I'm also a sucker for slogans, in principle, though to \
be honest not  on stuff I buy ;-)
- Lee's added another design on the wiki 
http://community.kde.org/Promo/Material/Swag - "it's time" with the K logo 
built in to a clock. Perhaps it could do with simplifying a bit, but I like \
 the idea. Thoughts?
- Win/Mac/KDE, dunno what to do with this really. I can provide a mock-up \
of  the latest suggestions if that's helpful, but I don't think I have the \
skills  (or time anyway) to do the proper version. Personally, I'm not sure \
I would  buy it on a t-shirt, but probably on a mug or something... It \
could be made  quite simple - I can see it but not draw it :-)
- I've added another to the wiki, on the theme of "We are KDE". The idea is \
 that it is supposed to look like a crowd holding up cards (like you see at \
 football matches sometimes). Initially I think it could do with less cards \
 (3x6, 2x4?) to make it simpler and maybe some hands holding them, or bits \
of  people visible. any interest in developing this further? I have no time \
for  probably a week or so (writing a presentation, then off to a \
conference until  next Thurs) but I'd be more than happy for someone else \
to run with it.

Btw, spreadshirt shipping costs to Europe are prohibitive for a single item \
 (http://gearwear.spreadshirt.com/shop/info/shipping USD 15 - as much as \
the  bag for example). Can we open a European store too at some point - \
after we've  tested the demand with the US one - or is there another way \
around this?

Cheers,
Stu
