information point: Renaming the coq-contribs organization and redefinding / expanding its purpose as an archive for Coq/Rocq and Coq-/Rocq-community projects (Théo, 5-10 minutes)
rename coq-contrib to rocq-archive so that it can be used as an archiving place for projects that are no longer actively maintained
but could be moved to rocq-community or rocq if they found maintainers
coq-contrib is no longer maintained but a bot pings us in zulip stream coq-community in case of PR opening (sometimes happen, sometime maintainer found)
in case a project is submitted to rocq-community but no maintainer is found, can be immediatly transfered to rocq-archive
renaming to happen immediatly (without priori reservation of name which is a bit painful)
two offers from an initial dozen from a professional typographer and graphic designer
traces of Coq remaining (including the three letters C, O and Q), traces of mythology
two ideas: logo separated from name (elephant ?) or integrated in the R letter
(one can see a mountain with a moon, the "hole" of the R reminds a hen/rooster)
two color themes : blue, gray, red or gray replaced by orange (orange reminds a bit OCaml)
we need to take a decision on logo and color theme so that work can be continued on website
link to mathematical prover not obvious (is that the logo of an airline company ?)
in any case, way better than we we currently have
advantage of first one: we are not strongly linked with the typography, the R is not hardcoded
we could add a lambda / a turnstyle, but may make the logo too heavy
wide majority for the first version (where nobody sees an elephant)
except in Paris where people find the second one smoother / warmer (the first one is maybe a bit aggressive with the idea of a fast eagle, the acute beak)
blue / white / red probably not a good idea with current French politics / nationalism
maybe try something completely unrelated : purple and dark grey for instance (but purple already used by roc lang)
orange may be too light but darker may be too close from OCaml
colors from coq-community are nice
inscribing triangles in the "three O"
enough feedback for the designer, hope to come back with a new iteration in about two weeks
technical infrastructure for the website is ready (although currently rocq-prover.org contains only the long-term roadmap)
