Re: Branding checks to upcoming book

One minor issue: I don't think you should use the group photo from the
Desktop Summit under the headline "The KDE Community" because this
isn't the KDE community but shows the KDE *and* GNOME community. Why
not use the group photo from Akademy 2010,
http://people.canonical.com/~jriddell/akademy/akademy-2010-group-photo.html
or something else?
