Thanks, John. Apologies for the top-posting but my email client awful. Even
more so with the latest "upgrades" ;-\
OK. Onto business:
I'm OK with the process because this is what we have, and I don't want to spend
more time developing something that a) will be used for a limited time; and b)
lies outside our core needs. So I think we should be clear(er) with the
instructions --for example, "instance" was confusing to me until I got to the
page. Also, we have fields that are not required for the submission but can be
disorienting. Stating something along the lines of "ignore this section" would
help :-)
I'll try to upload additional graphics just to test.
I originally had .pdf and .jpg in the call. If we want to swap .jpg with .png,
that's fine.
What else is needed? Have I forgotten anything?
Chat soon,

Hi everyone --I set up a test account and tried to do a submission.
It worked, but is non-intuitive for someone such as myself who is unfamiliar
with JIRA (well, I know what it is, but don't use it in my day-to-day work).
How did it compare to what you did on the wiki?
I'd like to combine the draft call that I created in October with the
instructions that John wrote so all will reside on the final page at
incubator.apache.org. Adjustments to the copy will be needed to ensure that
what we're asking folks to do will match the JIRA upload experience. For
example, I had originally written that we'd like submissions in both .pdf and
.jpg formats. I don't know if we can upload multiple images on a single "issue"
... so things like this need to get sorted out. Also, who gets notified when an
issue is created (as I'm supposed to be emailing folks confirming receipt of
their submissions). etc.
You should be able to upload multiple files, just one file at a time. Newer
versions of JIRA allow multiple at once.
Do you need to email them? Emails about the submission should have gone to the
general@ list. We can request infra to update the notification to also go out
to the creator.
I'd recommend we look for the submissions in PDF and PNG, but that's based on
my own knowledge.
As such, I'll need a bit of time to work through this (and update the
schedule). I'm aiming to get this done today.
Please let me know if there are any problems/issues/concerns with my proposal
above.
Thanks in advance,

All,
The IPMC (and Press department) will be announcing soon a CFP for a new
Incubator logo. I'd like to solicit some input on a page and set of
instructions to follow to gather these submissions. The page I've put together
is here: http://incubator.staging.apache.org/2017-logo-contest.html
I put together a sample submission here:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INCUBATOR-141
Please feel free to review, critique, test it and let me know what should
change.
John
