Moving the thread here from centos-devel ...
I have started a blog post draft at https://hackmd.io/pvef5ZYXQ9aXASekcXEF_Q?both based on the discussion in today's Stream Office Hours, and I think that covers the main points that we said we want to talk about in the announcement.
We would want to send this post out in coordination with the launch of Alain's new website visuals (see dev.centos.org) so we need to be sure that Alain and the Artwork SIG are in this conversation. (Hi, Alain!)
Did I miss anything that we discussed in today's meeting?

This is great Rich. I have a great liking for this initiative. Thanks!

The notes you posted are quite complete. I only would like to bring attention on some points worth to confirm before the announcement, in order to be sure the final visual presentation of both distribution and websites will be consistent once published. For example:
1. The distribution ships the artistic motif as default background.
2. The distribution can be downloaded from links provided in the https://www.centos.org/download page.
3. The theme roles applied against dev.centos.org have been tested against stg.centos.org an they worked as expected. Presently, we have work done for www, lists, people and blog subdomains but only lists has been tested in the staging environment (afaik). Other centos.org sites will be updated progressively after the announcement.
5. The announcement text and promotion stuff are ready to cover the media.
Once we confirm these points, we are good to go (i.e., run the theme roles against centos.org sites and announce on different media).
Best regards,
Thanks for putting this together Rich!
I've added a few comments and started collecting contribution examples as we'd discussed, will try to flesh this out a bit more next week.
Cheers Davide

Are we going to be able to use the new CentOS logomark stuff anytime soon?

This was discussed in the last board meeting but it doesn't sound like there's a conclusive answer yet. We'll definitely need to figure this out for this announcement.

I certainly hope so, but I still am waiting for a definitive response from the Red Hat Brand team on two questions:
1) What's the process for registering the new mark? 2) Can/Should we start using the new mark before #1 is done?
