The Parthenon _has_ to be in there :)
I disagree, the Parthenon has no place in the front page. It could be put somewhere else, eg where the text with the history of the city and the country is, but not in the front page.
There is only a frontpage. It's a single page site :)
It is like a trademark.
Exactly! For Greece. Which includes Thessaloniki last time I've checked...

Ok that's a bit silly issue to argue... Thessaloniki has plenty of monuments and places of interest that can be used for photos/backgrounds/whatever. We don't need to dig around all historical monuments of Greece (they are simply too many). Other than that it makes sense to use artwork that corresponds to the city that people will visit. Parthenon is a trademark of Athens just as much is a trademark of Greece. And most people can actually distinguish this monument and place it in Athens (not just anywhere in Greece and definitely not in Thessaloniki). On the other hand the same thing happens with the White Tower and Thessaloniki. The point is that our photos/artwork should not be confusing or misleading, not to even one single visitor. I believe this is what we are trying to avoid by insisting so much on using things that are familiar to Thessaloniki. So that the right correlations are made by our attendees. People that have only visited Athens, definitely remember Parthenon and seeing a photo of it, they will make the deduction that the conference is probably taking place in Athens. I hope we can all agree, this is something we don't want. @Henne: When can we have this new awesome website available at conference.opensuse.org ? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-conference+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-conference+owner@opensuse.org
