> Hello thriving community! > > We have had a great Logo contest so far. There were a lot of votes, > and a lot of discussion. All of the submission were great, and we > truly appreciate the contribution of such great work. The PPMC members > have been carefully dissecting what the next steps should be. This has > been a difficult task on its own, as we don't want to offend anyone's > great work and contribution. We also want to make sure we communicate > effectively with the community, therefore we had some private > discussions on how to proceed carefully and cautiously. > > With that said, the tallies are posted [1]. > > [2] #49: > Total: 106.5 Pts > Community: 83.5 * > PPMC: 23 > > [3] #42: > Total: 99.5 > Community: 68.5 > PPMC: 31 * > > [4] #40: > Total: 65 > Community: 63 > PPMC: 2 > > There are more community votes for #49 over #42 by only ~15. While the > PPMC members also had #49 in their top list, #42 came out on top, > while #40 was not favored by PPMC. Since there is no clear winner > between #42 and #49, we are conducting another round of voting for > those submissions. So with that warrants a congratulations to Tomasz > Maciag and Julien Brehier for their submissions and making it to > another round. > > Overall we should all be extremely happy with the votes as #42 and #49 > were both the top two choices for the PPMC and the community. A clear > sign that the community and PPMC are in-sync. We passed an early and > important test! And congratulations to everyone else that submitted a > logo as well! > > With this round of voting, we're only going to have a +1 to which logo > you prefer (#42 or #49). Remember, PPMC members votes are the final > say, and ultimately, that will be the what final decision becomes, but > the community votes help the PPMC members make their decisions, so get > voting, and let us know which you like the best! > > With everything said, some of our discussions included concerns on how > each logo represents the future of Apache Flex. One specific concern > was how #49 appeared to some of the PPMC members, and feeling that > some users could look at the logo as negative. Not saying at all that > the logo truly has any negative context, but there are some concerns > surrounding it. I don't want to spell them out, as to not give the > community a new vision on what the PPMC members are seeing. Just take > a careful and close look at which logo you choose, and choose wisely! > > Let the voting commence, and good luck to Tomasz Maciag and Julien > Brehier in this showdown of the new Apache Flex logo! > > > [1] http://people.apache.org/~dougarthur/apache_flex_logo_votes.xlsx > [2] http://s.apache.org/af-logo-49 > [3] http://s.apache.org/af-logo-42 > [4] http://s.apache.org/af-logo-40 > > > - Doug > -- Cordialement,
