[CODE4LIB] Logo vote
The logo voting seems to have died down at 109 votes cast, and it breaks down like this (you can see these results at http://www.micropoll.com/akira/mpresult/479444-107406): No logo: 8% Do it ourselves: 8% Combo of professional designer and ourselves: 26% Don't care: 27% Professional designer: 31% Since there was no clear majority, I think we should have a run-off between the combo option and only a professional designer. But I think the options should be more clearly stated than they were before (sorry!): Combo Option: One person would receive all the designs from both internal designers and any professional designers willing to submit designs for free, and they are put up for a vote without anyone knowing who did which design. Professional Option 1: We accept Stephanie Brinley's kind offer, request a few different ideas, vote on those ideas to settle on one, and the final version is created from the winning idea. Professional Option 2: Hire a different professional designer (to be determined) from whom we solicit a few different ideas, vote on the ideas, and the final version is created from the winning idea. Yes, consensus is tedious. Competing ideas, objections, embellishments welcome. Otherwise, I'll set up another vote on the three options above and the one with the most votes takes it. Roy

I think we should vote on the options you outlined below.

And please, no option like Don't Care. Not voting is the voting for Don't Care. -Original Message- From: Code for Libraries [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Cloutman, David Sent: Friday, September 26, 2008 2:00 PM To: CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU Subject: Re: [CODE4LIB] Logo vote I think we should vote on the options you outlined below.

[CODE4LIB] Zotero under attack

Re: [CODE4LIB] Zotero under attack
Hopefully, this quote from the article: A significant and highly touted feature of the new beta version of Zotero, however, is its ability to convert - in direct violation of the License Agreement - Thomson's 3,500 plus proprietary .ens style files within the EndNote Software into free, open source, easily distributable Zotero .csl files isn't quite this straightforward. While reverse engineering the .ens style files really isn't that big of a deal (this kind of reverse engineering is generally legally permitted), utilizing the collected knowledge-base from an End-note application is. I've run into this in the past with other software that I've worked on -- there is a good deal of legal tiptoeing that often needs to be done when you are building software that will essentially bird dog another (proprietary) application's knowledge-base. --TR -Original Message- From: Code for Libraries [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of wally grotophorst Sent: Friday, September 26, 2008 12:09 PM To: CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU Subject: [CODE4LIB] Zotero under attack http://www.courthousenews.com/2008/09/17/Reuters_Says_George_Mason_Univ ersity_Is_Handing_Out_Its_Proprietary_Software.htm I guess stuff like this is what gives me that anti-corporate bias...
