Hiya, i am impressed by all your work on btrfs. Unfortunately i am unable to contribute code in any meaningful way. But when looking at the btrfs-wiki ( http://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Main_Page ) the lack of a recognisable logo/logotype struck me. It, of course, may be argued whether a filesystem needs a logo or not (i think it does), but i made one: http://lomm.es/pub/misc/btrfs_logo.svg Permission is herbey granted to display it in the Mediawiki installation at btrfs.wiki.kernel.org for an indefinite time. Should you need it for any other purpose, please contact me. I consciously did not license the code as GPL, CC or anything else, as this would mean people could use it for other purposes than btrfs. not the idea of a logo.

Letting btrfs be known as "butterfs" (fat, greasy, slimy, unhealthy) instead of "betterfs" will be just one more in a long series of egregious marketing mistakes made by the FLOSS community. -- Tracy Reed http://tracyreed.org
I just think butter is delicious. Does this mean someone should change
the Wikipedia page as well? "Btrfs ("B-tree file system,"
pronounced
"Butter F S") is a GPL-licensed copy-on-write file system for Linux
announced by Oracle in 2007."

If you get Chris Mason to state that it is pronounced "better F S" than this would probably trump Valerie. If not, and you change Wikipedia, expect to get reverted.

It''s always fun to see logos. Honestly I try not to take the name part too seriously. At the end of the day the filesystem is only a small part of what makes the OS an OS and its a good idea to have some fun with it. I''ve always said butterfs, but betterfs and btreefs are allowed for anyone who can''t bring themselves to say butterfs in public. -chris -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
