[OSGeo-Discuss] OSGEO logo contest - when?

[Jason Birch]

The contest framework is under development by the web committee.  Please
feel free to comment on the wiki page's discussion link.  There are a
few outstanding changes, mostly suggested by Frank:

  o you should indicate some specific raster sizes to be provided.

  o voting should be all members of the foundation (voting and
non-voting)
    possibly based on having an osgeo.org account.  

  o I think submissions should be vetted by WebCom and the board to
    narrow down a short list before voting takes place.  Logos that are
    considered unattractive or inappropriate by WebCom or the board
should
    be eliminated before voting starts, not after they have been
selected.

  o I think you can propose something like $50 of swag for the winner
with
    the understanding that it might not be available to present till
somewhat
    later when we have "swag production" in operation.

Subject: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGEO logo contest - when?

If I recall correctly, there has been a debate over branding, in
pre-Chicago days...

Something regarding visual identity or the like...

When are going to open the contest for the logo?

are we waiting the board to be finished?
