Aaron suggests to start combined efforts up- and downstream to create a
strong brand for FOSS.
Aaron outlines the overall goal: "The desired result is the ability to
build a visually identifiable F/OSS desktop brand together , one that
fits nicely with your brand as well. This way people can continue to
say, "Oh hey, that's $COMPANY $NAME Linux" while giving the human
population half a chance to build a relationship with F/OSS itself as a
visually identifiable thing.In short: the goal is to increase our net
effect in the market by working together."
For that, the KDE project is starting to offer a service that helps
creating a brand that is fine for both openSUSE and the KDE project. I
think we should be an early adoptor here.

Pinheiro did a great job in the new default "Air" Plasma theme for KDE
4.3. IMHO it looks much more attractive then openSUSE's default Aya
theme.
I suggest we should take the offer that they would do a openSUSE
branded KDE (e.g. geeko on the start button and the like). This would
not only help building the KDE brand but appeal to be designed with
much more love than the default openSUSE 11.1 KDE look was.
Plus, jimmac could concentrate his efforts on Gnome.

+1I think this is a great oppotunity to save ressources. We don't have
to invite the wheel twice and in my opinion the KDE team does fantastic
design work. If the openSUSE brand is placed in a good way we don't
loose anything, but gain a lot.
