What are we trying to accomplish? That's a good question. I'm guessing
performance, reliability and related epithets are things that come to mind,
but the "vision" isn't clear to me. "The enhanced syslogd for Linux and
Unix" is what rsyslog.com says, but it doesn't say much to me. IMO, it's
already there and beyond, maybe we need a new goal. Or is there one and I'm
not aware of it? Rainer?
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 ;)
To me, it's not only about syslog,
right ... since long...
expecially since the likes of imfile and
imjournal have been introduced. It looks like rsyslog is more a generic
performance-oriented tool for gathering, buffering, processing and
delivering application logs. But it's just how I see it.
If I try to put my vision into a single phrase, I'd say rsyslog intends to
be the "swiss army knife of monitoring".
monitoring is too broad a term.
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".
"universal translator and transport for logging" sounds like a good start. I
think it would be nice to get 'routing' in there as well.

Thinking about this, would it make to have a mission goal discussion before
we go down to the logo question? ;)
Back to the original question, I'm available for a short Skype next week if
I'm needed. I can send my Skype name via personal Email to anyone who
requests it.
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 ;)

How can we get a meeting of all involved in the logo adventure? I
talked to my friend, Jill, and she is game but needs to know a bit
more of what we are trying to accomplish. After all, a logo is more
than a pretty picture.

Mauricio, if you know someone who can do it then go for it.
I'm not sure when my guy will come back and when he will, I can tell
him
that someone else is taking care of "the job" :)

FYI, the guy I was talking to before the holidays didn't get
the
time
to
finish it within that week. Then came the holidays, and now
he's
on
a
business trip. So I'm not sure what the ETA is now.
If anyone else wants to take over this task, just let me know
so
I
can
tell
him. If not, I'll follow up with him when he's back and let you
know
when I
have the logo.
Sorry if I was blocking something, I didn't expect all those
delays.
I don't think anything is blocked. I know too well how all of
this
volunteer work and priorities work out ;) At least I'll be
waiting
patiently. Thanks again for taking care of this!
If you need a plan B, I might know someone who can help in
the
art/logo dept.
Oh, that's excellent. I am happy with all of that, so maybe it's
best
if
both of you talk to each others (and the designers ;))?
