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
