Hmm wrong ! "I" requested the Fedora trademark (logo) to use Fedora Logo and "Fedora" along with "Electronic Lab" . Just like at LinuxTag, Fedora Ambassadors hang Fedora Banners with Fedora Trademark on it. Other companies such as Cadence , Mathworks have the own booth/Lab along side with their logos. By the way, in the past, my fedora trademark request was approved to do marketing about fedora. I have been given admin rights by James for the FEL's Online Booth. So like a Fedora Ambassador at the Booth, I'll hang the Fedora Logo. Fedora Trademark has nothing to do with the donation feature. Please don't complicate things when it is not a problem. Remember the little donation at the Fedora booth at Linuxtag or Fosdem? Interpret it likewise. Like Matt pointed is simple and I'm grateful that James accepted my request. With our teleconference yesterday, we have built up a mutual trust. Since James said " I suggest we decouple this from moving forward and put it on a parallel track as we work through the process." I'll be delighted to open out booth very soon. Don't leave me logoless ! regards, Chitlesh Goorah _______________________________________________ fedora-advisory-board mailing list fedora-advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-advisory-board
