Long-term plan for Fedora logo usage
by Greg DeKoenigsberg 03 Jan '06

03 Jan '06

This thread gives me an opportunity to let everyone in on the long-term strategy for Fedora logo usage. In the short term, I am the gate for Fedora logo requests. I've just returned from holiday, and I'll be authorizing logo usage requests myself later today. I'll also be noting the general patterns of WHY people are requesting usage, gathering instances of "typical cases." Once I've got a good sample, I'll take these "typical cases" to counsel, and we'll build a clickthru usage policy. People will be able to read a set of very basic guidelines, agree to them, give us contact information, and then they will be granted logo images and permission automatically. Should take no more than a couple of months. --g _____________________ ____________________________________________ Greg DeKoenigsberg ] [ the future masters of technology will have Community Relations ] [ to be lighthearted and intelligent. the Red Hat ] [ machine easily masters the grim and the ] [ dumb. --mcluhan On Mon, 26 Dec 2005, Rahul Sundaram wrote: > Hi > > >> > > I think that the problem is that Use of the Fedora Logo needs to be > > 'authorised'.
