Who is interested in this? [Introductions Thread]

[Rafe]

I just emailed Kurt Seifried, the owner of the domain. CC here for inquiring minds.

Dear Kurt,

If you really intend to start the Pirate Party of Canada, thank you. I pledge all my support and skill to the Party, and to the movement for privacy and creative freedom.

To that end, I offer my help. If there is any way I can help hasten the party's creation, or the website's, I will. I could copyedit, write copy, administer a forum, or even help a little with graphics, web design, or campaign materials.

We've been talking about PP Canada on the PP International forum. Mostly, we've focussed on its absence. Please, we're all impatient to begin. If you're not ready to get a site going by yourself, do this at least: join us on the forum and talk about it. I'm sure that together, we will make it happen.

Yours,
Rafe Saltman

If you want to email him too, this is his address: dnsadmin@seifried.org
EDIT: we might have better luck with kurt@seifried.org

I believe to this Kurt Seifried. Anyway I sent him an email linking to this thread.

any answer yet?

Sorry for the long reply. No I haven't heard aything else from Kurt regarding the website and it doesn't look to be up yet.

Anyway, yeah I'm still very interested in getting this thing going so hopefully he'll respond to Rafe's email.

Hey all, I've mocked up a logo based on the US one. It's quick and dirty; I want to stylize the leaf more.



Thoughts, everyone?

[Rave]

That's cool why no red tho?

[Rafe]

We shouldn't use the colour of any major party.

Libs: red
Tories: blue
NDP: orange
Bloc: light blue

I think I'm going to make it all-black, actually. We be pirates, aye.

[Rave]

ah, i c. I like the idea of each party's flag having some sort of national icon on it. Some parties are happy with just their domain name extention tho.

[Rafe]

Right, how about this?

[Rave]

that fucking kicks ass! that's the best flag variation I've seen!!!

[Pete187]

Thats Fucking Ace man. good work

[Rafe]

…and a version without the ring.

[Svamp]

That's really kick-ass.

Except, it might not give people a serious impression of the party. Could be good, could be bad.

[Juxi]

man I love it!!!

Excellent Logo! Well Done Rafe.

Being an avid member and moderator within the P2P Community for many years, 'tis satisfying to see the voice of the people spreading across the globe.

[Basek]

I'm in. I have been a supporter for awhile now, so i may as well make it official. I'll do whatever i can to help, just ask. I'm pretty versatile with computers.

awesome logo btw. i really dig it.
