Three questions:
1. Are we not supposed to wait until September 19 before voting?
No, there's no harm in voting early.
2. On the contest page it says "Everyone is welcome to vote,
however, only binding votes will be used to determine the winner."
- could anyone explain what that means?
The point of all this is to get a consensus of what we (as a
community) would like to see for our new logo. The reason that only
committer votes are binding is because (my opinion here) .... because
we all know who the committers are.
What I mean is, let's say we held a vote and anyone and everyone was
allowed to vote. What's to stop someone from registering 50 gmail
addresses and sending in his/her votes? Whether it was an author of
one entry or not, it still isn't fair. While I hate to base my logic
on a foundation of mistrust, I know for a fact that there are several
individuals out there who would do just that. Therefore, the Shale
PMC encourages everyone to discuss and vote on their favorites and
while a user vote might not be binding, it can be influential. I
mean, if 20 people *really* like a particular entry....chances are
pretty good that I'm going to go and take a second look.
Keep in mind that all of the entries should be cleared through ASF
legal@ and pr@ (public relations) before any winner can be
announced. I'm about to send that right now.
Also, to all the authors, we will need the source file(s) for these
entries, preferably Photoshop (.psd).
3. Are the contributors themselves supposed to vote?
Sure, all are welcome.
