Hey guys,
as some of you might already know, TheASF has recently changed its
logo
(https://news.apache.org/foundation/entry/introducing-the-asfs-new-logo).
We also need to change our logo and have one that doesn't include the
old Apache feather.
So we've decided that the best way to update our logo is to hold a
contest, the open source way.
The details are on this wiki page:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SPAMASSASSIN/SpamAssassin+new+logo+contest
Everybody is welcome to participate (people outside of the direct
SpamAssassin-users
community as well), so it'd be best to follow up with questions on
that wiki.
My only concern is that due to the problem of uncontrolled scanners and
wiki spammers, The Infra team has limited access to Confluence. New
accounts in Confluence now require approval from a project team. In
recent weeks (before the Contest) I have rejected 2 account requests
that gave very robotic and not quite rational reasons for requesting
the accounts, as if the requestors believed that they needed Confluence
accounts to use SA. I have no problem with us approving Confluence
accounts for anyone interested in participating in the contest, I just
think we need to be aware of this issue.
I strongly urge anyone who requests a Confluence account for the purpose
of contributing to the contest to make that purpose clear in the
rationale you provide for getting an account.
