Veto because no community input was sought during any of the review phases. Sorry. I will continue to use the penguin for all contest entries and the pending magazine articles until we have a design which had community review during the design process.
ah. well. Speaking as the person who o tried for 12 months to get community input on the name and logo, and o who then went to a small group in search of input, and o who tried to design a voting mechanism and o again requested input, and o got nothing from anyone!, and
I'm sorry that you got that impression. I remember quite a few mails on the list with logo and name proposals (some of them from me) over the course of the last twelve months. Perhaps there was a mail routing glitch and you didn't get them. I'll make sure to CC: you and request feedback if we ever have another name/logo decision process. Actually, I expect we'll have another logo decision process soon, this time for flashrom.
o who greatly appreciates your contributions to coreboot,
I am very sorry you feel this way!
I have passed this logo by a great many NON-coreboot, NON-computer types. They loved it, without exception. That said, we could consider community input and a vote and I feel pretty strongly that the new logo would win such a vote :-)
Well, with one finished logo and all other contenders only in draft stage (due to the same no-feedback problem you had) I expect the finished logo to win easily.
We need to make some progress here. I love the new logo, personally, but more important, it's time to move on on the name change and logo. We tried and failed for one full year to get a new logo. This was the best we were able to get. But, I think it's really, really good.
Let's get a decision on this. Do we vote?
We'd need a few debates on CNN before we vote. Just kidding. I'd like to invest some time in the alternative proposals to make sure they have a chance of getting more than zero votes, though.
