| Markus & Jakarta EE community,
Hola from airport, ✈️ day for me so please bare with this quick follow up.
Duke logo is not a O’s trademark. Will confirm & properly follow up facts via this thread or new thread after talking within peers from the marketing committee.
Markus— Where did that communication got stablished btw you & EF?
thank you for #walkingthetalk! 💙 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. Mike Milinkovich (m) +1.613.220.3223 Please note new email address. 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? -Markus
