David is right. The PPMC is really only there to make sure that Apache's interests and obligations are met. They do not really "Control" the project in as much as make sure things that need to be done (like filing reports, dealing with trademark, legal issues). A sign of a healthy community is communicate on the list and just do it.
In this case, your advocating for a logo / mascot ... +1, great idea. At this point, the Citrix folks (no offense) really don't have a lot to do with it inasmuch as the Apache CloudStack product does. So, the only process at this point is see if anyone has an objection (so far it doesn't sound like it). I'd suggest making a Wiki page where people can post their ideas. Pick an end date, I suggest 30 days, post and wait. At the end of the 30-days take a community vote and the logo with the most votes wins :) When Citrix donated to the code to Apache and the community was formed it is the community that gets to decide the fate, good or bad, on its own Matt Hogstrom m...@hogstrom.org A Day Without Nuclear Fusion Is a Day Without Sunshine On Apr 24, 2012, at 4:49 PM, David Nalley wrote: >> · “Call for Submissions” to be sent out to cloudstack-dev as soon >> as the PPMC approves this proposal > > > Speaking only for myself - I don't think you need PPMC permission to > move forward with this idea - I'd of course suggest ensuring a > community consensus, making sure folks are well informed, etc. but > otherwise, just go get things done.
