A quick thought on the workflow. Abstractly we'll probably want a "master" image SVG file and then a set of defined steps (a "recipe") that gets us from the master SVG to each of bitmap images we'll need. This is probably not something that can be entirely automated, but we could have steps in a text file stored parallel to the source, or on the wiki. For example, to produce the website logo from the master: 1) Remove the version number from the master logo 2) Crop to specified aspect ratio, with specified centering of the logo 3) Export to PNG, with alpha transparency, with specified dimensions Something like that (with the details specified, obviously) That way, if we ever need to tweak the logo master SVG we can consistently generate the derived versions. -Rob > Samer > > > On Thu, Jun 6, 2013 at 6:31 PM, Andrea Pescetti <pesce...@apache.org> wrote: > >> Rob Weir wrote: >> >>> Now that the core decision making process is over, what are the next >>> steps? >>> >> >> Good, congratulations to Chris and it's good to see that the outcome was >> basically the ratification of the preferences 5000+ people had expressed in >> the survey. >> >> >> 1) I've sent Chris a note requesting the latest SVG.
