Yes my comments are directly related to usage of the Fedora marks in direct association with a donation button..and only the donation button. Donations could be problematic for us as a project if we aren't prepared to deal with them in a transparent fashion. I've no problem if Xuropa is committed to helping support FEL. In fact I'm ecstatic! I think what Chitlesh is doing with FEL is absolutely fantastic and we should all talk about it more. Getting content expert business interests like Xuropa lined up to support the development of FEL and the upstream projects it integrates is a non-trivial accomplishment worth of support. We just have to be careful with the donations, because frankly we aren't setup to deal with them in an equitable and transparent way at the project level. The absolute last thing I want to do is give people the expectation that they are contributing financially to the Fedora Project when they hit the donation button, but not be able to keep a track of what those donations are doing. -jef _______________________________________________ fedora-advisory-board mailing list fedora-advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-advisory-board
