Improving our visual identity -- a meeting?

[Tyson Tan]

Thank you David, I'm glad you liked the design.

Although I don't count myself as a professional, I was industrial design 
major, and VI design was part of the course. If Krita can use my help, I 
will provide it for free. However since my day job gets quite busy 
recently, I probably can't do much before the end of November.

I have never participated a Krita meeting though, can someone provide me 
the info?
