Originally we gave them 6 weeks, now we're giving them less than two? 12 days is how many days to August 1. Doesn't seem like nearly enough time to me. I'd say August 19 (one month from today, and a Monday so they have the weekend before to finish it). > > The Logo must be licensed to "under" instead of "to?" > Apache License 2.0. > If your Logo is accepted, the creator must sign an ICLA: > http://www.apache.org/licenses/icla.txt > > While we will accept PNG image formats for the contest, > we prefer vector based formats (SVG). > > Pixelbased formats produced with Gimp or Photoshop > might be vectorized with free tools like Inkscape. > > * http://inkscape.org > > Please note that a logo should not contain too much many > details. > > HOW THE LOGO IS CHOSEN > > If more than 10 Logos are submitted, the Apache Logging committers > will reduce the numbers to 10 nominees in a public vote. > > When 10 Logos are left, the Apache Logging committers will > select the final concept. This is a little confusing. Even I'm not sure here whether this means only the committers will pick the top 10 / the winner or if there will be a vote that everyone can participate in at some point. > > The majority fo the Apache Logging PMC can veto a logo. > > The logo is finally accepted, when all votes are successful > AND the ICLA of the logo contributor is on file. > > The Log4j team > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] > For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
