Hi, I am up for this task as I'm back again from a bout of illness.
Also here is my feedback for the discussion that has being going on
for designs related to FUDCon Pune.

* Henna design seems good on corners on poster (I'd remove it
nevertheless if everyone dislikes) but is not advisable on T-shirts.
Neither will a building look good on it.

* The T-shirt ideas need some more love. I'd like to have a slogan at
back with some simple design on front. I can create some mockups if
required.

* Mizmo's poster's seems perfect to me with most of the info present.
I'll make some changes to it, share and if OKed by all, run some test
prints here with a printer. I'd have loved the '0' in 2011 I did in
the past versions to be present somewhere. It's mean a lot to us as
its the 'spoked wheel' we have in our flag :)

I'm happy that the logo with henna crown is accepted :) and will
continue with banner designs from now on.

General consensus on the last F2F meeting was that we don't prefer the
rangoli pattern on the corners of the posters.  It is a typical pattern
used for other occasions like wedding invitations and we want the poster
to not give the same impression for obvious reasons.  Otherwise we like
the design

That would be great as that seems a bit stalled at the moment and the
current mockup isn't that particularly appealing to anyone.

Sure.  We can entertain that whim :-)

Awesome.  Thanks
