Hi all, I think, everybody who wanted to vote for an official slogan / positioner has posted his opinion - and I'm grateful that I am able to count the votes of 19 people. With such a broad support to the voting the result shows the quintessence of many different opinions - and the distance between the winner and the next proposals shows that many people will be able to stand up for it in their discussions about OpenOffice.org.
As Jacqueline told us: > If you have voted, i.e. sent a message through to this list - please > check that it has been delivered. > > I was alerted that I my votes hadn't come through :( > [...] please check, if your mail did reach the list and tell me if it didn't. I counted the votes from: - Steven Shelton - Konrad Stobiecki - Chad Smith - Mark Harrison - Adam Moore - Jean Hollis Webster - Charles-H. Schulz - Florian Effenberger - Cor Nouws - Benjamin Horst - Jacqueline Rahemipour - G. Roderick Singleton - Bernhard Dippold - Ian Lynch - Cristian Driga - James (8daysaweek) - Finn Gruwier Larsen - Alexandre Martins - Jacqueline McNally But now the results: |----------------------------------| | 90 points: Open.

[1] It was proposed to modify this slogan to "Tomorrow's standard in today's office", but the original phrase had it's supporters as well. What will be now? 1) I cc'd Louis because I think, this positioner should be officialliy approved by the CC to be presented in combination with the logo. 2) The Art project will mention it in the Art Style Guide and create a logo file including the positioner that can be downloaded from the logo gallery. For the future I'm looking forward to seeing this expanded logo in business cards, web buttons, banners, presentations, documentations and all that stuff. 3) The native-lang projects could try to adapt this positioner in the different native languages (as fas as it is possible) and spread it inside their communities. 4) Everybody is invited to use this positioner (in combination with the logo or without it) representing OpenOffice.org. 5) Perhaps we'll have a short notice explaining it's background to community members with less marketing experience. Steven, you did propose this phrase - would you like to write a few lines we could refer to? Thanks to all providing proposals, discussing and joining the voting - we can be proud of the result!
