    All've dem on one page

    My favourite would've been No. 2, if they'd removed the yellow background. *ick*

  2. Re:OSI Logo history by DeadVulcan · · Score: 2 · on OSI Launches Certification Program With Logo

    Heh, I'd totally forgotten about that contest.

    Personally, I thought my submission was the best. :-) I think I should have explicitly noted that there are arrows pointing in as well as out. Maybe it was too subtle.

    As you can see, there were plenty of other submissions based on the same idea: arrows pointing outwards (distribution of source) and arrows pointing inwards (submission of changes). However, I'd felt that none of them really took the idea and ran with it. Hence my submission.

    Actually, I'm just a little bit annoyed. I put a fair amount of work into my submission, but I understand (from the message board discussions) that the keyhole logo was the favourite, almost from the beginning. Did I ever have any chance at all? Did anyone after submission #7 have a chance?

    Oh, well.

    The OSI logo contest information might clear this up. It was conceived by ESR with some pretty specific rules. There were a wide variety of submissions. There was a diverse interpretation of what OS was to represent. The selected image was provided by "Hilmar". Additionally, here is the index of all the submissions.here

    If we want to improve the breadth and strength of the Open Source software that's out there, we don't need more money per se, we need more programmers (and writers, and trainers, and testers, and ...). Money is only useful to the community insofar as it buys food, housing, Net access, etc. for its members.

    So who's evangelizing for Linux, and helping people learn about it, in the schools? Not the elite universities where you graduate $80K in debt ... what's happening in the state schools, the community colleges, and for that matter, the high schools? Is anyone working on an open-source Logo? (No, no, not that logo -- this Logo!
