Thanks Michael!  Can you give a brief overview of what your longterm 
vision for the site is?  I know there has been some discussion of a 
possible blog, for example.  How else would you see the site growing?

Additionally, if you could hold for a few days until some time next 
week, we should have an updated version of your site using Gatsby.  
Currently the site is just HTML - a result of us getting it up quickly 
ahead of the announcement of Open Infralabs.  Now that it's up, we're 
upgrading it so you have better SEO tools and the ability to expand the 
site more easily.

Wherever you want to repo to live is fine, but I'd like to make sure it 
works with Netlify and our development team has access to help you 
manage the back end.  Additionally, our marketing team does a fair 
amount of the updates via the Netlify CMS, so ensuring that's accessible 
and available for those folks is important as well.

If there are updates I can help with in the short term, or any users I 
can add to the git repo, please let me know.  Additionally, we'll of 
course accept pull requests.

Cheers,
Jimmy

Greetings OpenInfra Labs team!

My name is James Cole and I’m a graphic designer with the OpenStack Foundation. We want to help you brand this project and would like to gather your ideas before venturing too far down the logo development process. 

There are a few obvious possibilities for the visual identity (e.g., laboratory equipment, scientific things, symbols related to testing, etc.) but maybe you have some unique ideas that would better represent the project. 

Our brand design process normally follows these steps: 

Gather internal and community requirements 
Create some rough concepts 
Share the concepts internally with the OSF team 
Share the concepts on the mailing list and gather feedback 
Revise and refine concepts as necessary 
Gather consensus and select the community favorite as the official logo

Some things that are helpful to know:

Do you have any initial ideas or opinions for this brand?	
How would you want this brand to be perceived (corporate, futuristic, whimsical, trustworthy, etc.)?
Are there any brands or projects similar to this project? 
Are there any brands or visual systems you do not want to emulate?
Any other thoughts?

Thank you!

James Cole
Graphic Designer
OpenStack Foundation
