Totally agreed.

Once upon a time, Kolab was primarily green. Remember those days?

I agree that we need to keep being blue. This is important to ensure that the 
new identity relates back to what has been before and is not too much of a 
shock to the world.

Well there are 4 of us:
- Nuno Pinheiro (Oxygen team, design)
- Ingo Malchow (Oxygen team, technical)
- Jeroen van Meeuwen
- Me

Jeroen was unable to make the meeting last week as he was in transit to 
Switzerland.

I am happy with this, if this is the preferred route. I will continue to 
anounce the meetings and all will be welcome, nonetheless.


All the best,
Paul
