Chitlesh, you'll definitely be able to use the logo at the Online Booth. You're promoting an official Fedora spin, and supporting the Fedora Project through the Online Booth. The logo should link to the official Fedora Project site at http://fedoraproject.org and then everything's good to go. Reading our trademark guidelines, I don't see any problem whatsoever with this arrangement. In fact, we've specifically set up those guidelines to allow personal and business sites to support Fedora in this fashion. Whether the logo is attached to a donation button might generate more discussion. I think that's the situation to which Jef was specifically referring. But thanks to James' suggestion, we can consider that as a separate matter from the Online Booth, which should be good to proceed. -- Paul W.
