a new logo suggestion for fossconf:

I know I'm so late in joining this discussion (which is probably closed
already). And I also saw a lot of emails in this thread (which I didn't read
because I wanted to see the logo through my eyes without any explanations,
which is how anybody outside of this mailing list will see it), and here is
what I saw...
(a) Left palm with the marudhaani dot in the centre. Very indigenous. Nice.
(b) Rising sun (but very low risk of being mixed with DMK symbol as the dot
is organish).
(c) A bharathanatyam symbol which (to my layman knowledge) means both stop,
as well as 'be calm, I am there' (reassuring)
(d) A longish ring finger, which (going by the cliche) means somebody
skilled in the arts.
(e) Slender fingers usually characterises those who work hard.
I understand the left hand was chosen to link this with copyleft, but I so
wish this were the right hand, because an open right hand signifies somebody
who is happy to give.
Cheers,
Janani
