+ User's mailing list</a> via an http link. If you do not
+ have an available webserver contact Andy (acoliver at apache dot
+ org) and ask him to post it for you (and he will if it doesn't
+ suck royally). Large binary attachments annoyingly posted to
+ the list will be rebuked. :-)

+ Image authors must be willing to work with us on any font and

+ </li>
+

+ All submissions become property of the Apache Software

+ </li>
+
+<li>
+ A non-binding poll will be taken and everyone can vote.

+
+<li>
+ Based on the poll results and the fact that Andy won't vote for
+ anything that isn't some kind of tiki god or hawaiian theme
+ (maybe a poi pounder would be acceptable), the committers will
+ vote on the new POI logo.
+ </li>
+
+<li>
+ Logos should be submitted in two flavors: one for the top of the
+ page and another for posting on other sites that note projects
+ that use POI technology.
+ </li>
+
+<li>
+ The winner will get credit posted somewhere on the POI site and
+ have their logo used wherever POI is proudly served.
