Comments

Jo Cook on December 21, 2012:

All, I've tweaked the bits I needed to tweak on the homepage and added in the logo guidelines: http://2013.foss4g.org/sponsorship-opportunities/logo-guidelines/

Feel free to suggest comments/changes- bearing in mind that all the widgety bits on the front page will change when we add the sponsors logos

Happy Whatever-You-Celebrate
