Logos and Mission Statement for the Ruby-SIG

[Mark Klein]

Hello,

I'm Mark Klein, a 14 year old high school student from Honolulu, Hawaii.

I'm participating in the Google Code-In contest for 2012 and for my task, I
designed two logos and wrote a mission statement for the Fedora/Ruby SIG.

Here's the link to the two logos:
http://www.google-melange.com/gci/work/download/google/gci2012/8007231?id=20...
http://www.google-melange.com/gci/work/download/google/gci2012/8007231?id=30...

This is the mission statement:

The goal of the Fedora/Ruby Special Interest Group is to become the
defacto-platform for ruby development. This is being achieved with our
stack incorporating security fixes and new features while complying with
both Ruby and Fedora standards.

I hope you like my contribution to the Fedora/Ruby SIG!

Thank you,

Mark Klein

BTW, aren't there any copyright issues with the Ruby logo? Is anyone free to take it and use it this way? (just wondering)

Not just Ruby [1], but Fedora's logo as well [2]

Ya had thought about this as well. Most likely will have to make a
couple minor adjustments to be in accordance w/ our guidelines, and will
run it by our logo team for verification before uploading it. I believe
we should be fine after that, but will make sure.

If there is an issue, there are a couple options we could take. We can
swap out the ruby logo for one of the stock ruby photos in the public
domain on the net, have one our gfx team draw a ruby for us, or if a
ruby-sig contributor want to do so, by all means. Lastly I could open up
another GCI task to draw a simple ruby in inkscape and swap that in.

Would prefer using the official logo, but this would still convey the
message none the less.

I'll throw my hat in for #2.

By a vote of 7 to 2 the first logo wins.

Also a bit of good news, I confirmed with Mark that he did _not_ use the
official Ruby logo, rather a clipart image of a ruby licensed under the
public domain here [1].

I will still need to make small adjustments to conform to the Fedora
Logo guidelines and will still run it by the logo team before uploading.

Thanks to everyone who voted!
