Re: [ee4j-pmc] Design Contest: Replacement for Duke Mascot

Markus,

If the idea is to replace Duke, isn’t that a Jakarta EE mascot? If so, wouldn’t that be a question for the working group, rather than the PMC?

FWIW, I rather like this idea, but would slightly prefer to wait a while before pushing ahead, only because of all of the other things on our plates. But perhaps there’s some urgency here I’m unaware of.

Dear PMC,

 

recently I was told by the EF that I must not further use the Duke as a Mascot for any EE4J projects, as the EF wants to trademark all logos but the Duke is trademarked by Oralce.

 

While I literally hate this decision, I have to respect it and find a solution. For marketing reasons, and just for fun, having a Mascot would be great.

 

The only solution I do see is that we have to start a Mascot Design Contest. BTW, this time we should respect all the critics we earned with the Logo Design Contest: We need to have clearly described ALL criteria upfront, give enough time (six weeks at least), and publicly announce on the mailing list.

 

What do you think?
