The conference logo would seem to be a play on the Bosc pear, but I can't find a reference to confirm. It would be nice to have, though. -- Amkilpatrick ( talk) 16:43, 20 July 2014 (UTC) reply

Yes, despite our Pear Logo not looking like the red/brown and longer-shaped Bosc Pear, I understand that to be the case. We may need to track down the first BOSC chairs to confirm this per wikipedia reference standards. [Peter Cock, BOSC 2014 co-chair] 143.234.97.120 ( talk) 12:59, 22 July 2014 (UTC) reply
