Thanks David for getting that up and moving, we have a number of great submissions. Following Matt's suggestion below,
>> 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 :) The Wiki has now been live for more than 30 days, so I was hoping we could get something more formal from a proposal together to launch more from a voting perspective and make it something fun that we can celebrate at OSCON. In order to do that, we need to get the rest of the submissions in within a week, so let's pick Wednesday 6/13 for that. From there, I'll have them cleaned up and presented in a uniform way for votes from the community. Does that seem reasonable? -peder On Mon, Jun 4, 2012 at 12:40 PM, David Nalley <da...@gnsa.us> wrote: > Peder and I were talking over the weekend - and I noted that despite > any feedback to the list, the wiki page had gotten a bit of interest. > He asked me to point folks to it as he is out of pocket for a few > days. > > http://wiki.cloudstack.org/display/COMM/CloudStack+mascot+proposals > > Feel free to add/comment/etc. > > I have no idea what timeline he has in mind, but figured there was > already a ton of good content there from folks all over.
