A forum thread was also sane, but if you ask me, it's still a better 
idea to have people vote via e-mail. It's easy, does not require one to 
use yet another large system to get something this small done, and 
ensures that we know who the voters are easily enough.

At this point, there's no reason to discuss trivial things with each 
other such as how we should have voted or whether or not the art team is 
organized enough. If anything has come to light these past few days is 
that we would like to be organized, but still have to thoroughly discuss 
our situation if we want to.

We need to set a date for a meeting 
(https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ArtworkTeam/Meetings). It's unfortunate that 
I'll be busy the weekend following the release, so I doubt I would 
personally have any time then, but I'm sure you can manage with one guy 
less. Otherwise, I'd be up for a meeting anytime after release. Maybe 
even the same night. Which time zones are we in? I presume there's 
diversity in that; which time would be most beneficial, given 
everybody's time schedules?
