[Opensim-dev] Welcome, Avatar!

For those who wish to contribute more of these images, here are some 
guidelines:

- Unless your intent is to provide raw material for others to modify 
(like the SVG image, for example) do not make the ready-to-use logos 
big. The "Powered by OpenSimulator" logos should be DISCRETE. The one I 
made is 114x27, that should give an idea for what *I* mean by discrete. 
But don't take it from me. Have a look at "Powered by Apache" logos out 
there; that should give you an idea of what common sense suggests for 
these kinds of logos.

- You need to include a license for the image(s) you upload and link 
from that page. Images without licenses will be removed from that page.

Thanks.
