I've posted a summary of some use cases that could help guide us in
formulating new trademark gudelines:

You can use the "discussion" tab to place any salient points, or feel
free to reply here.  Feel free also to add other use cases that you feel
have been missed.

The Board and I are very interested in making sure that the new
trademark guidelines ensure that:

1. Community members have a fairly wide berth for using the Fedora
trademarks in ways that advance the mission of the project;
2. We minimize drag or overhead for people to get permission for
pre-approved uses;
3. People outside the community can still drive interest from those
external areas; and
4. We are protecting the trademark from dilution or abuse by people who
aren't interested in furthering these goals, and preventing public
confusion over our brand, mission, and principles.
