Mumps logo

Hi all...

Is there an official, generic Mumps logo? I'd like to use the image (if
available) for my desktop theme, etc.

Would be nice if Mumps/M had one - would it not? Maybe we could vote
for an official, generic logo right here in this newsgroup.

This one was used by the M Technology Association.

Good one. I forgot about that one. I wonder if there are any
trademarks on it. I would hate to enfringe on them.

....."and I like it too!" )

It _is_ a good one! What's up with the M Technology Association these
days? Any former Association executives reading this newsgroup?

IMHO, guys like Ray Newman and others who have Open Source M compiler /
interpreter projects would be prime candidates to use the logo. What do
you guys think?

I am a regular reader here and was on the Board of Directors when 'M'
logo was developed for use by M Technology Association. I do not
recall if we obtained a copyright on it or not. However, I am not sure
why or how anyone could complain about its use. After all, MTA was all
about spreading the word about the technology and serving the needs of
the members of the association.

Its design was intended to suggest forward movement or forward
thinking and have a look that suggested technology.

In my humble opinion, anyone could use it if it were not for
commercial purposes (whatever that means these days), but instead in
the spirit of a fraternity of like-minded professionals that
understand and love and use the technology.

Ed de Moel, what are your thoughts?

It's used within the CAMTA logo here in the UK:

http://www.camta.net/

Unfortunately these days the general impression I get is that rather
than wanting to actively advertise and promote their use of Mumps, a
lot of people end up being apologetic about using it and/or actively
going out of their way to not use the word for fear of having their
application or solution branded as using outdated, old-fashioned or
just plain bad technology.

This, of course, does the technology a great dis-service, particularly
given the furrow we plough in the web app development marketplace
where we're demonstrably doing really cool, leading edge stuff with
ease that most of the big players are only just talking about doing or
struggling with implementing (eg the fully-fledged database-linked
transactional web desktop).

I, for one, am all for promoting Mumps.

My recollection is that the MTA granted rights to use the logo for the
purpose of advanding awareness of the technology.
Since it looks to me that this is exactly what is going on here,
it should be OK to use the logo.
