[U-Boot] Want a Das U-Boot project logo

[Eric S. Raymond]

A few days ago I became aware of the existence of Das U-Boot.  It appers
you're doing good technical work, and the bilingual pun appeals to
my sense of humor. This makes me want to do the project a good turn.
And, it turns out, I think I can.

I recently launched an effort called Loadsharers.  You can read about
it at http://loadsharers.net and I hope that will motivate you to join
the network and spread the word about it.

The Loadsharers network needed a logo.  I am not a professional
graphics designer, but given access to a clip-art archive and a copy
of the GIMP I am not bad at putting together something simple and 
serviceable. Besides the Loadsharers logo I have also designed the
logos on these pages:

https://gpsd.io/
https://ntpsec.org/

(I'm also the technical lead of both projects.)

The Atlas image that I chose for Loadsharers turns out to be owned by 
Shutterstock.  I bought the rights to use it yesterday.  But it turns
out the minimum package you can buy from them is a 5-image licenses.  This 
means I have free license options on four Shutterstock images of my
choice over the next year.

It would amuse me to trawl Shutterstock's archive, fire up a copy of
Inkscape or the GIMP, and design a logo for Das U-boot.  I have in
mind something themed around a periscope or periscope reticle.

Interested?

The kind of charity you can force out of people nourishes about as much as
the kind of love you can buy --- and spreads even nastier diseases.

Hm.  Doesn't show up on the home page.  I did check.

Very well then, good luck and good hunting.
