I’d like to propose we hold a design contest for a storm logo. Below is the proposed markdown for a page on the storm website outlining the logistics, rules, etc. Start date would be the day of publishing.
I’m thinking a 2 week time frame would be long enough, but I’m open to changing that. Once published, we’d want the community to help get the word out (tweet, blog, etc.) so any potentially interested professional designers hear about the contest. Let me know your thoughts so we can get the ball rolling. - Taylor ----------------------------BEGIN MARKDOWN---------------------------- #Apache Storm Branding Intitiative Apache Storm is a platform for distributed, real-time computation that has been undergoing incubation at Apache since September 18, 2013.
