## Description: The mission of Apache Logo Development is the creation and maintenance of software related to Creation and development of a brand and logo for the Foundation ## Project Status: Current project status: Ongoing Issues for the board: No issues for the board. ## Membership Data: Apache Logo Development was founded 2024-08-21 (5 months ago) There are currently 17 committers and 16 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 9:8. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Melissa Logan on 2024-08-28. - No new committers were added. ## Project Activity: Work is underway to set up the voting mechanisms for conducting test voting, ensuring our tooling works with the voting platform and can be deployed when we get closer to the official vote. There are some technical issues to coordinate with infrastructure, but we have no concerns at present that this would present any form of blocker. Once we have conducted the tests to satisfaction, we will begin discussing the official vote and the messaging around it. It is my personal expectation that the committee will be able to reach this point in the coming month. ## Community Health: No updates of note. The roster has remained the same since last report, and we are slowly getting back into the groove after the holidays.
## Description: The mission of Apache Logo Development is the development of a brand and logo for the Foundation ## Project Status: Current project status: board concern: mild ### Work Efforts The PMC is in-process of preparing a ballot for presentation to the Membership. The current discussion is whether to try to rush this before the late-December holidays, or simply wait until the New Year. Given that ballot language has not been decided upon, and will likely require much discussion, it certainly appears the ballot will appear in January. The PMC will likely run a test/empty ballot in December to test the desired process. The set of candidate logos to be presented to the Members for consideration has been finalized. ### Health Many words have been written about the Logo Development PMC, and its on-list discussions, about its participants, and whether there are factions. All of this is arguably true or false, but is materially irrelevant as long as the PMC is able to make progress. Thus, this report is not going to cover “health” concerns that others may have raised. ### Composition The PMC has recently seen the resignation of Dave Fisher (wave) who is performing new Foundation duties as VP, Tooling. The prior VP Logo Development, Jeff Genender, has resigned his position as of Dec. 6th, 2024. The PMC is recommending Daniel Gruno (humbedooh) as the new PMC Chair to replace Jeff Genender (jgenender), and a Resolution has been placed on the Board's agenda.
