EDIT - Does this look OK? UK PHP Conference 2006 - EDIT!

| Hi.
----------
EDIT: POsted the wrong image. This contains the correct one. I've edited
the HTML fragment to match the new image name as well.
----------
I am trying to get a news item posted on the home page of php.net. I
mailed Damien Seguy and he said mail the content to this address.
Is this acceptable? What else do we have to do? If it's OK, we'd like to
publish it straight away.
yours, Marcus

| Hi Marcus,
- Posting to me directly and personally means that you rely on
myself being available or not. I have exams, I don't have too
much time. Others on the php-mirrors mailing list might have.
- I have edited the suggested news item to first link to the
event (as this link is automatically copied over to the RSS),
then link to the organizer, and do not link every possible
sentence further on. Let the user be able to read the text
without the underlines caused by excessive linking.
- The "logo", you provided me with is actually a banner.
Text on it says: "phpcon UK 2006, 10th February 2006, London,
Tickets £75, Early bird £50, www.phpConference.co.uk"
We display logos, not banners by the side of news items.
News item posted. Ps. Mirrors list also cc-ed.

I said I also cc-ed that address. Now I cc-ed it again. Please use
"reply-all".

Ehem, the php|tek one does have a web address, or pricing on it? Do we
look at the same image?
Looking back at two years of news items, only one logo had a URL, and it
was the only text on the logo, so it was basically representing the
conference name. None of the others have a URL. Also absolutely none had
the pricing on them. I mean this is a logo:
http://www.phpconference.co.uk/images/PHPConference.png
It is oversized for our purposes, but it is a logo. This is a banner:
http://www.phpconference.co.uk/uk_php_2006.png
A logo is something you put on your business card, print on a big paper
to hang on the wall at the conference hall, put up to every page of your
homepage, print on mugs, tshirts, anything.
Just look back the last two or three years of logos in news items, and
you will easily get what we are publishing as logos.
For even more information:

| A logo is a tangible form used to represent any given article.
| It's also describes an organisation personality.

Obviously now we know about the no banners rule, and what constitutes a
banner, we have changed it.

It's now a logo. Is this OK?
