Jeff,
Thanks for all your hard work. You really hit it on the head when you said, “Leadership in rallying volunteers to work for the benefit of all is nothing to be ashamed of - it’s what makes communities go.” Amen.
What makes this community great is that people respond to various calls by rolling up their sleeves, jumping in, and having fun. And what’s more, when people make a call that isn’t immediately responded to, most people don’t take it personally or feel rejected, there is an understanding that this process is a bit chaotic.
The contest idea was great. Just because people aren’t getting paid, doesn’t mean there shouldn’t be a competition or that the first person to send a logo should have it accepted. I think Drupal is modeling a way for open source to really be open, but also deliver real quality. That’s a big deal.
