[advocacy-discuss] Logo Feedback

[Rafael Vanoni]

Hey Glynn

Amongst all the Indiana/OpenSolaris stuff that has been going on and 
because you mentioned that Sun is paying someone to come up with a logo, 
I can't help but wonder if this new logo is for OpenSolaris as a whole 
or OpenSolaris as Indiana (?)

thanks
Rafael
