Gump Icon/Slogan
Nicola and I were chatting about "awareness", getting credit where due, and
enabling pride of involvement. It got us thinking about a Gump icon, like:
http://lsd.student.utwente.nl/gump/images/built-with-forrest-button.png.
but with some content like:
Gumped for health [healthy relationships]
Gumped for consistency
Gumped for compatability
Friend of Gump
Gump compatible
Actively Gumped
Socially Gumped
Gump Gregarious
... and/or other such randomness...
A little further out (perhaps when we have gump.apache.org) we could have
the folks link this to their results on Gump. Until then, they could link to
Gump's site, which ought link to current servers.
Do folks have ideas for such a slogan? I think we need to convey the concept
of Gump, the benefit of actively Gumping, in as few words/syllables as
possible.
regards,
Adam

I think some old-fashioned propaganda-style "whitepaper" would also be a
good idea...get projects to do things like
<hr/>
<p>Gump status: <a
href="http://gump.apache.org/nightly/latest/$[project}/"><img
src="http://gump.apache.org/nightly/latest/${project}/status.jpg"></a><br/>
<img src="http://gump.apache.org/friend-of-gump.jpg" style="float: left;
margin: 5px;"><p>We're proud to depend on <a
href="http://gump.apache.org/">Gump</a> for continuous integration.
Become a <a href="http://gump.apache.org/whitepaper">Friend of Gump</a>
today!
</p>
And we can write up something like YMTD [1].
thoughts?

Sounds fine. We had a logo contest for Ant where we let the users
decide on the logo and it has been a lot of fun.

Quite simply ... "FoG" is the itch I had that brought me to Gump. I've
grappled with Python and extended Gumpy because I figured I had a better
chance of getting to FoG with it. It is still a ways off, but it is a step
or few closer. I look forward to working with you & the Gump community on
this...
P.S. Others have pointed out that FoG could be used as a negative, and I
understand that concern. I'd like to see it be a numerical representation of
"positive peer pressure", no more. As an objective measure of
"community/interaction health", where (like Google) the community dictates
the outcome, I'm sure it could be used as either, but I feel we can work to
emphasis the positive.

Adam

Besides, Gump's logo is really bad. Sam designed it and well, I could
deal with it but we need to find a better one.
If we get top level, what do you guys think about a logo/skin contest?

I like Friend of Gump for two reasons:
1) it can be used as a fancy acronim FoG :-)
2) I'm planning to work extensively in finding a metric that really
tells how gump-friendly your project is.... so, you might be able to get
a FoG logo when you have, say, more than 10 FoG points.
I think this would be very cool.
