Gerard, I could use some help here relaying to the Chinese community our trademark concerns. Generally, communities are definitely allowed to use our CSS for their sites, but they can't mix that with the use of the Fedora trademarks. When I visit that site, it looks exactly like a Fedora Project official site, when in fact we have no control over it. We need the site maintainers to do a couple things: * Remove the Fedora logo from the top left. * Make sure the copyright notice at the bottom does not indicate that the site is owned or sponsored by Red Hat or the Fedora Project. Our trademark guidelines are located here, in case they're useful: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal:Trademark_guidelines Gerard, you might want to point out to these folks that we can provide a planet.fp.o/zh "official" feed for them to use if they're interested, which would then be allowed to carry the trademarks since it's run by Fedora itself. But they'd still need to make the changes shown above. These requirements are the same for all Fedora comunity members that set up non-commercial Fedora-related sites. Let me know if I can provide some more help or explanation if needed. Paul -- marketing mailing list marketing@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing
