I agree to have a separate template. I am a government employee who do volunteer my time to do talks on OpenSUSE to local community colleges. While I do that on my spare time, the Novell logo might prove to be a potential conflict of interest.
But, of course each ambassador is expected to get the mandatory Novell tattoo. That won't be a problem, will it? ;-)

No offence but i think...
This is a very nice way to make people not use and contribute to openSUSE. Many aspects of it must be liberated from the company it supports it. So in fact this phrase doesnt sound funny, its the bitter truth. In my opinion if openSUSE wants to spread more it must look more liberal on users and by being tied on a company like this has the opposite effect. So i think we better look after making non-novell-branded promotional material (including the presentation templates this thread is about).
Thanks for your time, George <RageCryX> Koutsikos

I do hope it was understood I was kidding. (hence the smiley)
As I mentioned before - I would like to see a set of templates for openSUSE ambassadors that does not have a Novell logo, and neither I or Novell has a problem with openSUSE ambassadors using presentations without a Novell logo. (It'd be *nice but not required if there was some mention of Novell's role as a sponsor of the project -- but that's up to the ambassador and whether they choose or want to give Novell a mention.)
A lot has been done over the past few years to make the openSUSE project more independent and I expect that will continue.

I guess there should be one Novell mention in any openSUSE presentation as the owner of trademarks/logos. If people do presentations to spread openSUSE (and that's a registered trademark) then starter slide or credits slide if present should have a notify line about Novell.
Hi guys!
I`m not a designer, but I think which this thread are losing the way, and I developed some draft about it. Its my idea from templates, black and white.
We need a transparent logo with "openSUSE Ambassador". Who can help us?
If this maillist blocks the attachments, I will put this file on my website: www.gabrielstein.org/templates.tar.gz. Just wait 5 minutes to download it.
