Did I mention that we need someone who is good at public relations? ;)

Of course, we've moved far past this point. I even remember that I
rephrased the mission statement for a presentation, but guess what ... I
can't even find it! At least I admit my fatal fail ;)

If I try to put my vision into a single phrase, I'd say rsyslog intends to
be the "swiss army knife of monitoring". Actually, we coined that vision
looooooong ago (15 years?) for Adiscon's Windows tools, and when I began to
work on rsyslog I had that very same idea on my mind. In a somewhat longer
text, this means to me that rsyslog should be able to accept, transform,
convert, process, forward and emit all types of event logs, making it a
kind of universal translator of "logging languages".

Thinking about this, would it make to have a mission goal discussion before
we go down to the logo question? ;)

Yup, obviously the same with me ... but mind of the  mission statement
question. Guess that needs to go first - and we really should try to gain
agreement, shouldn't we?

Thanks again to everyone. This list is really enlighning.

Rainer

PS: I may put up a form of the current logo on github as a temporary
measure... Just so that you know. Doesn't mean it's solved ;)
