Dear openSUSE-Project, dear "Contact Information"
(permission@xxxxxxxxxx)

With the release of the first openSUSE Trademark Guidelines [1], we see
the big advantage to get the problem around the covered topics
addressed. Thank you very much!

We, the openSUSE-Education project, are a small community driven project
aiming to optimize openSUSE for use at universities and schools as well
as for education usage by schoolers or students.

We've created "Add-on" Medias containing additional applications for
already released openSUSE distributions. We've also created some
manuals and HowTos (in the openSUSE-Wiki[2] and as PDF[3]) describing
how to add the Add-on Media to an installed openSUSE distribution and
use the additional software. Our repository is hosted by a server
available under the URL www.opensuse-education.org.

Regarding to your Trademark Guidelines, we've the following (permission)
questions:

1) Are we allowed to use the Name "openSUSE-Education" as Project name?
Note: our Add-on Media is called "openSUSE-Education 1.0 for openSUSE
$version"

2) Are we allowed to use the domain opensuse-education.org ?
Note: the homepage already contains a pointer that we're a community
driven project.

3) Are we allowed to use any openSUSE Logos|Mark on our project homepage
and documentation/presentations?

5) Are we allowed to use a modified form of the openSUSE-Logo ?
Currently, we've
* a small Gecko with a doctoral cap on his head [4]
* a full Gecko with this head and the "logotype" openSUSE-Education

6) Are we allowed to use our current CD-Cover for the Add-on Media as it
contains some "openSUSE" words in it?

7) Is it this right: we can create an installable openSUSE Media
containing our own addtiional applications - but we have to remove all
openSUSE Marks from it. ?

Looking forward to your reply.

With kind regards,
Lars (on behalf of the openSUSE-Education Team)
