So, to recap, when the deadline is reached, a vote will be taken for
all the entries. The more entries ranked, the better the outcome, so
it would probably be best to go with a top 10 ranking. The important
point is in how the ranking works.
I think I am hearing 2 different types of voting being suggested.
1. Each voter chooses their favorite n (n can be whatever we decide)
For example (3 votes per person):
Craig Sean James Greg Wendy
Image 1005 x x x <- tie
Image 1006 x x
Image 1007 x
Image 1008 x x x <- tie
Image 1009 x x
Image 1010 x x
Image 1011 x x
This example shows the winner as a tie for Image 1005 and 1008.
2. each voter ranks their top n choices
For example (top 3 ranked):
Craig Sean James Greg Wendy
Image 1005 1 3 2
Image 1006 1 2
Image 1007 3
Image 1008 3 2 1
Image 1009 2
Image 1010 2 1
Image 1011 3 2 3 <- winner
This example ranks each as the following:
Image 1011 8
Image 1008 6
Image 1005 6
Image 1006 3
Image 1007 3
Image 1010 3
Image 1009 2
You can see how these 2 method differ. Both examples show the same
images being voted the same, the difference is in the ranking. I
prefer the 2nd method because it more accurately reflects how people
feel, rather than just being the common one that most people _didn't_
exclude. It's our way of saying "I really REALLY like this one or
that one", yet still giving equal voting all around.
Once the voting is final. This will divide the pool of entries into
2 groups.
A) those with a ranking
B) those not yet ranked
At this point we *should* know who won or tied (requiring a run-off),
but until that author provides both the source (Photoshop .psd, or
whatever) and files a CLA, they aren't really the winner yet. We
should decide on an appropriate time frame to allow people to file
this paper work. 1 week? 2 weeks?
In the event that the chosen author cannot or does not file the CLA
and provide the image sources, that author will be moved to an
unranked status and the next runner-up will be asked to provide the
image source and file a CLA. Hopefully, there won't be any issues
getting the paperwork filed and such.
How does this sound? Does that accurately represent what you guys
are thinking?

The requirement for a CLA was mentioned at some point. If that is
a requirement we should probably filter out al entries for which a
CLA has not been filed. Then we could give each remaining entry a
number and issue a vote like this:
[ ] 1 (Link)
[ ] 2 (Link)
Please check your top 5 choices.
From that list we could list the 5 choices with the most votes and
perhaps make another vote based on that.
As far as community involvement I'd say let's do it the same as
with releases. Anybody can vote, but the PMC votes are binding.

I suggest when it comes time to vote we pick our top 5 and rank order
them. We can give 5 points to the first choice, 4 points to the
second, etc. The top 5 point getters could then be announced and we
could vote based on those.
I'm assuming the decision will be a committer vote but do we want
some
public discussion before this vote? Ultimately I think its a
personal
preference thing and one is unlikely to be persuaded by a group
discussion.
IMO there are at least 4 or 5 logos that I'm more then happy with.
Its just a matter of finding the one that has the broadest appeal.

I agree. IMHO, limiting this to one entry per person will only
stifle creativeness and may lead to rampant dissociative disorders,
