The Maven Logo
Hi all,
Right off the bat, this post is NOT intended to start a flame fest or
offend anyone. With that said, I work for the State of Rhode Island
department of corrections. We are at the very early stages of re-writing
our core application. We will be using Maven as our build tool, and in
so doing I'd like to put the "powered by maven" logo link on our
development web site but... As I said, this project is a State of Rhode
Island project and being so, politics are a major issue. Now here is
where the logo comes in; After showing the web site that Maven generates
to a supervisor, it was pointed out to me (and I fully agree with) that
Maven logo looks like it's right of communist china (no offense to the
Chinese people or their government). This on a U.S. State government
sponsored project just is not going to fly.
What I am asking for is that the Maven community reconsider the default
logo for one of the others found in the xdoc plugin. If I may be so bold
to cast a vote (seeing that I'm not a committer on this project... yet!)
for maven-bulldozer.png which has no political inference.
TIA

Was half of a mind to go find an open source site using red, white and
blue and demand that they change their logo too. However, there's no real
reason for Maven to have this logo, it gets the same reaction every time,
[the name: maven-propaganda is interesting] and:
http://maven.apache.org/images/logos/maven-feather.png
seems a perfectly happy replacement with Maven being a TLP.
It even has the right wordage, as Maven sites are built-by Maven and not
really powered-by. It's also the one that I believe we've chosen to use
over at Jakarta Commons as the most obvious for an ASF project to be
using.

If you did that, every politician in the US would want a maven generated site.
Gotta get those AIPAC contributions, you know--it's an election year ;-)
I don't understand the Sinophobia. Most pols in the country are currently
engaged in pushing economic stimulus packages through our congress so that we
can create more jobs in China and India.

Committers,
Please keep the star as the default - it's distinctive, punchy, and
bright, and shows a level of humour that is all-too-often missing from
OSS projects. I've certainly become a maven propagandist over the past
six months, and would hate to see the bland blanket of corporatisation
kill a little fun. Above all else, it is a more professional graphic
than any of the other offerings.
In the end, though, I know that I can always change my projects to
continue using it, without much hassle. So, if some Mammon-worshipper
prefers not to be faced with a yellow star, so be it. Just be sure to
keep the graphic available for your True Believers ;-)

I don't want to respond to anyone in particular (except for the fool
who envoked the halocaust) because I don't want this to turn into
a political discussion. If it does turn into a political
discussion, it will only serve to prove my point. It just seems
obvious to me that the propaganda logo is going to criple this
project, and someone needs to say what is not being said.
The propaganda logo is divisive. It is disingenuous, perhaps
both hostile and ignorant, to say that there is no cause for
alarm to adopt the symbolism of the Soviets.
+1 feather
Gathering support for an open source project is difficult enough
without creating additional barriers.
Yankee sensiblities are one thing. Yes, we are big and tough,
and our squemishness can come across as insecurity, but we are
also a populous nation with many different cultures, religions,
and belief systems in play. We accomodate other people, knowing
that they might have come to use from a Cuban or Vietnamese
boat-lift, or they might have had to leave home because they
said the wrong thing about Ceausescu, perhaps they lost loved
ones in Hungary, Siberia, Afganistan or to the Red Army Faction.
When you brandish policial symbols you have to be prepared to
address these greivences. Greivences addressed to the US, its
corporations, and government agencies are never in short supply.
Why would a US government agency want to invite the rage our
political refugees and veterans feel for the crimes of our
former adversaries?
If this logo were afixed to a teen-ager's skateboard, most
Americans would get the joke. But to place it on a government or
corporate web site is daft. I doubt the British Home Office would
be pleased to have a Stars and Stripes logo on their home page.
For those of you who now conviently see the Cold War as a
charade, it is a pity that we are all Alanticists here. There
are plenty of Asian and Latin American countries still
recovering from the idological wars. It was in these countries
that hosted the killing portion of the Cold War. This logo will
never fly in Taiwan, South Korea, or Hong Kong. You think a
Taipei municipal web site can display the Maven logo?
Basically, you've created an identity that is going to clash,
and clash hard, with the identities of corporations (a Communist
anathma), and government agencies around the world. You have
created a logo that, for some, is going to envoke living
memories of oppression. Now you are surpised that the logo is
meeting resistance.
So what's the Maven logo for? Is it about speading the word
about Maven, building support and community? Or is it about
challenging sensibilities?
Feather or propaganda, take your pick.

No, they would have a far more pronounced reaction. In Germany, the
orginial poster would be arrested. In the US we use discussions such
as this to regulate speech, rather than the more draconian methods
found on the continent, so yes, thoughtful discouse does tend to
baffle some our friends across the pond.

After all, the vote is over and the decision has taken, see Ben's URL.
To get rid of these never-ending-logo-discussions, I like to suggest to
add ben's link or all the logos plus instructions how to change them to

Start a thread with a [vote] subject, and get some votes, or better still,
do as Ben did, and set up a web site with logos and votes.

+1 to change it
I say we move from politics to religion. Since 'maven' is a yiddish
word, let's put a star of david on the logo.
;-)
For me, it's not a question of offensiveness, but laziness: I'm tired
of answering questions about it. It's a time-wasting distraction when
introducing new users to maven. Put a cute little non-offensive koala
bear or kitty cat or native american on the logo and let's move on.

Re: The Maven Logo
Posted by Scott Tavares <st...@cox.net>.
Well my response to this is two fold, 1st thanks for responding so
quickly. I kinda' knew that there must be some config file somewhere to
select one of the other logos in the xdoc plugin but I did not know
where. And again thanks for pointing it out to me as to where all the
other xdoc magic happens. My 2nd response is that the 'default' logo,
IMOP still needs to be changed, even though "... competition isn't
closed." In fact, I'd like to the see that logo removed altogether from
the competition because of its potential inflammatory political bend
(which has no place in an OSS project).

visit http://maven.apache.org/reference/plugins/xdoc/properties.html
Look in your $MAVEN_HOME_LOCAL/plugins/maven-xdoc-plugin-#/
Look in the plugin.properties, see the lines:
# The logo to show on the generated site. No default at present (competition
isn't closed)
maven.xdoc.poweredby.image=maven-propaganda.png
maven.xdoc.poweredby.title=Powered by Maven
maven.xdoc.poweredby.url=http://maven.apache.org/
look in the plugins-resources subdirectory, images/logos.
You can choose any of the other powerdby images, simply set
maven.xdoc.poweredby.image=maven-frankenstein.png
You can stash your own logo in there and choose it.
