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.

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.
