Hi all,
Is this list for real or not?
It the dev list is to cast a vote too, keep it separate.

The logo discussion/proposal/vote is a marketing list process that has =
crashed due to the simple fact that it is a first attempt.

A nice learning process for the list.

I would suggest:
Go back to the announced process
Amend it with the missing parts
Restart on this list to conclude on the recommendation to the PMC

Johs
