New (final?) draft:
http://dot.kde.org/2010/05/03/being-kde

I've put in "end of May" as the deadline, which is ok I think if this gets 
published in the next few days. The voting can then start early in June, for 
one week, then with tweaking of the winning design with the artist (if needed 
- just scaling to a set of desired sizes etc) we can launch this officially in 
early July - just before, at or after Akademy.

So - can I have any more feedback on this by the end of Tuesday? Then if there 
are no big issues I'll see where it slots in to the Dot queue and get it 
published.

The below doesn't have to be decided *now* (but before voting)

Yeah, or maybe a couple of weeks. I'll discuss with the forum peeps when I 
finally get myself on to irc and look at vote options (input in reply here also 
welcome of course)

So far: Jos, Justin, me - did I miss anyone?

Nuno and/or Eugene - want to have a say?

Others? More the merrier.

Of course, following UK election results, we also have to debate a voting 
system: first past the post, alternative vote, single transferable vote... ;-)

There are some updates to designs on the wiki for 3 out of 5 of the initial 
designs and another promised.
