Re: [Haskell-cafe] Haskell Logo Macbook Decal
I've heard good things about teespring. I gather it's like a kickstarter but specifically for t-shirts. They seem to have some procedures[1] in place specifically for non-profit organizations, which might be a good option for supporting haskell.org. [1]: http://teespring.com/solutions (confusingly, the page is titled enterprise solutions, but I think it's actually about non-profit organizations) Assuming the campaign isn't hard to set up, it's probably worth doing. I know I'd certainly buy a shirt. Or maybe a sweatshirt. A campaign like this might also make a good rally point for informing the community that haskell.org is now a registered non-profit :).

Hi everyone, I put together a Haskell logo decal designed to fit over the Apple logo on a MacBook, and had a few made by macdecals.com. They came out great!

I wondered if anyone knew the legalities of using the haskell logo, in particular, this one: http://media.nokrev.com/junk/haskell-logos/logo1.png on a website, a personal blog in particular. While I am not yet a primarily haskell coder, I'm using it more and more.

Finally, I'd like to make a suggestion as to the final results. Typically there's a tension between a Free trademarked logo and a just Free logo. ie. see how Debian does it: http://www.debian.org/logos/ Although Debian can be obtained for free and will always remain that way, events such as the problem with the ownership of the term “Linux” have shown that Debian needs to protect its property from any use which could hurt its reputation. Debian has decided to create two logos: one logo is for official Debian use; the other logo falls under an open use type license. We could have the top result be the official logo, and the second result be unofficial. In this way, both logos win: the former will appear in all the official high-prestige locations, but the latter will likely get reused more. Admittedly, it's unlikely the two top finishers will have quite the same thematic unity as the two Debian logos, but I think it's a suggestion worth entertaining. -- gwern ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe

Voting among 100+ options took a while (15-20 minutes?), but I had no problems. The system may be suboptimal, but it works nicely. It probably won't make people vote in wrong options (at least not too often, mistakes always happen), so it is doing a fine job. Thanks for organizing the voting for us.

The CIVS allows easy grouping and ordering, so the task of ordering 100 options should be doable within 5-10 minutes. If you're in a hurry you can do it a lot faster, just pick your favorite and put it first. If you want to learn more about condorcet voting, the CIVS site and Wikipedia are your friends.
