Thanks, André --my apologies for the delayed response; I've been traveling for 
ApacheCon.
In case you weren't aware, there is an official "Powered By" badge that has 
been updated to reflect the new ASF identity 
http://apache.org/foundation/press/kit/
The one that currently exists online for Apache CloudStack is using the old 
graphical assets, but it's a useful resource to have. (yes, the CloudStack logo 
is too small, etc. 
http://www.apache.org/foundation/press/kit/poweredBy/pb-cloudstack.jpg )
And, seeing that most other ASF projects are using this (they are extremely 
popular as stickers!), I'd encourage the project to consider updating and using 
this as well.
Warm regards,
Sally = = = = =  vox +1 617 921 8656gvox +1 646 598 4616skype sallykhudairi

Hello to all,    
sorry for the delay, but our designer was off for some weeks. But finally we 
have put together some proposals and I personally like the idea with the “stamp 
“ (option 5 or 6) best. So you can stamp your homepage or any other Marketing 
Material with “powered by ACS”. And we can easily include the proposal of Giles 
and replace the slogan “powered by” with "supporter of" or  "contributor to"    
Kindly have a look at following URLhttp://poweredbycloudstack.bitcloud.cloud/ 
and we are looking forward for your comments and feedback.    Thanks and best 
regards.    André Walter BIT.Group GmbH T +49 3591 5253 1415

Betreff: Re: Supported by ACS logo    Hi Andre - welcome to the community - 
great to see you here and I look forward to working with you and your 
colleagues     It's great news that you can dive straight in with this 
important work    I can't find the old thread on this, but in summary I think 
it stalled because the cloudstack logo didn't fit nicely inside the "powered 
by" circle that Sally references ( it resulted in the cloudstack logo being 
very small)    Maybe it could be made to work bu somebody with an eye for 
design. But as ilya says, we don't have to stick with that design - it's not 
obligatory     Maybe best to come up with some ideas and post a link here    
Also : I've always thought that it would be good to give some options that are 
not just "powers by"    A few with words like "supporter of" and "contributor 
to" would be great     Kind Regards Giles   D: +44 20 3603 0541 | M: +44 796

Thanks, André --your timing is good, actually.    We just launched the new ASF 
identity yesterday, and will continue rolling out the new assets over the next 
few months.    To that end, we have an existing "Powered By Apache" campaign 
that can be used generally or specifically with certain Apache projects. Please 
see http://apache.org/foundation/press/kit/#poweredby   Again, given that our 
launch was just 26 hours ago, the icon for Apache CloudStack on file is the old 
one, but still very much valid. If this fits your needs, feel free to use as 
appropriate.    Warmest regards, Sally    Vice President, Marketing & Publicity

Subject: Supported by ACS logo    Dear all,   I am pretty new to CloudStack 
community and want to start my thread with a short introduction. I am working 
for BIT.Group GmbH and heading the area called “Cloud Services”. There we are 
delivering Infrastructure Management Services to big customers (mainly SAP) 
with a clear focus on open source technologies. That means we do classical IT 
outsourcing specialized on implementing and operating virtualization and OS 
layer with Experts / Administrators in Germany (Dresden) and China (Shanghai).  
 Giving this background we started last year to build up an own “BIT.Cloud” and 
decided to use Apache Cloud Stack and Ceph as focus technologies. Our 
experiences with ACS are really good (clearly we find the one or the other 
optimization potential ;-)), we had great interactions in the community already 
and we decided to deepen our involvement. So hopefully you will hear now inputs 
from our side quite more often and we especially want to increase the 
CloudStack presence in the German speaking area.   What we currently miss is a 
kind of “supported by ACS” logo, because we want to publish our Cloud offering 
with a clear statement of our focus technologies. I heart that there were 
already discussions in the past, but somehow it did not come to an end. Do you 
also see the need or in general would you support the initiative to get such a 
logo?   In case most of you answer the question with yes, I see following main 
questions:   ·        Would you use the cloud stack (word), the monkey logo or 
the combination of both? ·        Are there any legal restrictions which we 
have to consider (e.g. does somebody has to approve this from ASF side?) ·      
  Do you know why the initiative in the past did not succeed?   ·        Did 
someone in the past already created some drafts or similar? ·        In case we 
have some logo proposals clearly some will like it and some won’t. Will we 
start a voting procedure or how does this work usually?   Please excuse this 
maybe stupid questions, but as I initially wrote, I am quite new to thisJ.   My 
wish would be, that everybody can use such a “supported by” logo in case he 
wants to and I would offer to engage our designer, to prepare some design 
proposals and share the results with you.   I am looking forward for a fruitful 
discussion and your feedback.   Thanks and best regards.   André Walter Cloud
