Re: [ee4j-community] Tomitribe Veto's Jakarta EE logo Design-- Biggest mess seen under EE4J
|
The logo is open for sumission, I understand that once all the submissions are in there will be a narrowing process just like the name. I don’t see what the issue is here?

+1. I totally agree with James on this one. The logo selection process has been open enough in my view. This is a big undertaking. Let's give people some due slack.

I was under the impression that the marketing team was shortlisting a list of logos, and would seek input from the community. That seemed like a sensible approach to me, and seemed to be what is happening right now on this very mailing list. An effective community is one that delegates responsibility, putting trust in the right people to make decisions on the communities behalf, not one that includes the entire community on every decision.
I can't speak for the how the marketing is being run now, maybe the mailing list should be public, maybe it shouldn't, but let's not forget what our primary goals are here - under the JCP, Java EE had stagnated, now we need to bring Jakarta EE back to the forefront of innovation for enterprise systems. There's a lot that needs to be done before we can even start on that task, we need to be publishing documentation and project information on websites for example, and we can't do that without a logo. Everyone is eager to get these ramp up tasks done, so we can move onto the real work, to be able to start having solid technical discussions about where Jakarta EE needs to go, what new specs are needed, how existing specs need to be updated. The logo is important, but it seems there is already a team of 12 or so people working on that, why don't we trust them to make a good decision so that we can quickly get to what really matters - the specs, the technology, innovation.
