The new Boost logo was developed by the Alliance, and a community consensus is needed if we are to fully move forward with its use. I am hoping this will spark the necessary discussion.
Visually I think it's a decent logo.
We would want to avoid the "Debian Iceweasel" issue. I've not tried to understand whether this is a problem with the terms of use.
To me, the logo choice looks like a proxy for the more fundamental question, "do we like Vinnie Falco and the C++ Alliance and the work they are doing?".
Less than a month ago, Kristen Shaker told us that "there is no viable path forward for further coordination between The C++ Alliance and The Boost Foundation". I have not seen any announcement reversing that decision. I guess that there has been some private discussion and that Vinnie is no longer persona non grata - am I right?
He has never been. The Boost Foundation does not own boost - or anything related to boost, apparently. I think everyone who frequents the mailing lists should be able to make up their own mind about what the Booat Foundation and what the C++ alliance did for Boost.
Regards, Phil.
