However, I was not able to find any information about its copyright status. Is it "public domain"? Has some kind of "creative common" license? Is it owned by the RIAA? :-) (I doubt :-) Moreover, I only found bitmap versions (the above is JPG, but somewhere I found also a PNG), does it exist also in vector format (e.g., SVG)? (Oh, BTW, it will need some updating with "2012") Thank you Riccardo ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

Those badges have been handed out to participants at the annual SIGAda and SIGCSE conferences, and various other events. It is based on a design we made for the Ada-Belgium programming contest in 2001-2002: <http://www.cs.kuleuven.be/~dirk/ada-belgium/contest/>. Later, it was adapted to include "2005" as well, and to have more of the appearance of a coin, so it could be made into a badge. After the SIGAda 2004 conference, I brought a small bag with those badges back to Europe and have been handing them out at various Ada-Belgium events and in the Ada Developer Rooms at FOSDEM 2006 and FOSDEM 2009 in Brussels. By now, I only have a few more left, and intend to provide them to the (new) speakers at the upcoming 3rd Ada Developer Room at FOSDEM 2012 early February. (BTW, stay tuned for more info on that soon!) >I like it and I would like to use it, for example, on the site of a >project of mine.

Is it owned by the RIAA? :-) (I doubt :-) It has always been our intention (our = Ada-Belgium & ACM SIGAda) to put no restrictions on the non-commercial use of that image, as long as it's used to help promote Ada. So feel free to use it on Ada-related project sites. >Moreover, I only found bitmap versions (the above is JPG, but somewhere >I found also a PNG), does it exist also in vector format (e.g., SVG)? I can imagine where you found the PNG version... ;-) The one I used on the draft Ada DevRoom web-page for FOSDEM 2012 (*) is just a scaled down conversion of the JPG file. (*) That web-page will be put on-line shortly. >(Oh, BTW, it will need some updating with "2012") Yes, indeed. It's on my "to do" list, unless someone beats me to it. The idea is to recreate the "Ada coin" picture using a good quality version of the "Lady Ada" image, add "2012", and then make it available on the Internet. But there are some more urgent "Ada tasks" on my list first... >Thank you > >Riccardo HTH Dirk Dirk.Craeynest@cs.kuleuven.be (for Ada-Belgium/-Europe/SIGAda/WG9 mail) *** 17th Intl.Conf.on Reliable Software Technologies - Ada-Europe'2012 *** June 11-15, 2012 ** Stockholm, Sweden ** http://www.ada-europe.org ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

I have played with Gimp and have added a bit of relief and a gradient background to improve the coin appearance. I am satisfied with the result and would like to distribute it for the same uses. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

I assume that "no restrictions on the non-commercial use of that image as long as it's used to help promote Ada" means I can publish my modified version under the same conditions.

Would you mind a suggestion? 1983 .. 2012 at the bottom seems kind-of cool. And it will be easy to revise as specifications change.
