Peder and I were talking over the weekend - and I noted that despite any feedback to the list, the wiki page had gotten a bit of interest. He asked me to point folks to it as he is out of pocket for a few days. http://wiki.cloudstack.org/display/COMM/CloudStack+mascot+proposals Feel free to add/c

Just one note, the mascot will not stick forever :), means that we can change it later if the community wants, this happens oftenly when podlings are preparing for graduation On Wed, Apr 25, 2012 at 7:03 PM, Peder Ulander wrote: > Matt, Mohammad and David - great suggestions. 30 days seems more

Matt, Mohammad and David - great suggestions. 30 days seems more reasonable to get input and creative from the community. I'll work to get a wiki set up and broad outreach to get the word out for participation. Perhaps we can wrap this up in time for OSCON and do something fun to celebrate a new

David is right. The PPMC is really only there to make sure that Apache's interests and obligations are met. They do not really "Control" the project in as much as make sure things that need to be done (like filing reports, dealing with trademark, legal issues). A sign of a healthy community i

Another variant would be to open the submissions for a month or so and let those that want to submit their design ideas (actual images and artwork do so) as well as ideas. It let's people be creative and strut their stuff so to speak. Create a page on the CloudStack Incubator Wiki where peo
