(Presenter: Taylor Blau, Notetaker: Keanen Wold)
* Software Freedom Conservancy status report
* We have about $89k in the Git project account (up ~$20k from last year)
* Biggest expense is Heroku - Fusion has been covering the bill
* There's on and off work on porting from a Rails app to a static site:
https://github.com/git/git-scm.com/issues/942
* Dan Moore from FusionAuth has been providing donations
* Ideally we are able to move away from using Heroku, but in the meantime
we'll have coverage either from (a) FusionAuth, or (b) Heroku's new
open-source credit system
* We have more money than we have plans for, we're looking for ideas[a] on how
to spend this money such as funding people to visit our conferences and
sponsoring students to learn more about Git
* Trademark considerations for people using "Git" in their product names
* We do have general council and are trying to think more about what the Git
trademark means
* Question - are there other conservancy products who have trademark issues
* They hold all trademarks for their projects
* Git has had the most problems with people/products using Git in their
name
* They reach out with letters, etc. and have not had to take legal action
in most cases
* Question - how do we enforce the rules when we have GitHub and GitLab?
* The trademark has exemptions for Hub and Lab
* We need to hold the line for the trademark for new companies, etc. using
the name otherwise we lose our leverage to protect the name
* Question - have the trademark ‘offenses' been growing?
* It's been pretty stable
* We're looking to be fair
* Additional questions can be sent to Pono
