[opensuse-marketing] SUSE Studio and openSUSE Branding
Recently a discussion with Alberto P got me into afew details about SUSE Studio 1. I add a single package, then it is not openSUSE, I have to debrand it. 3. So what about the derivatives we have 4. We promote it, but is not wrong? 5. Can we have better rules from openSUSE with respect to SUSE Studio, ie we as a community as accept it irrespective of SUSE Studio Regards Manu -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help@opensuse.org

This is actually a question that needs to be addressed to the Board, as the board is responsible for clarifying trademark guidelines, and Alberto did in fact raise this question previously. Unfortunately, our predecessor chair felt this was not a matter that needed attention, and I already have it on my plate to bring it up at the next trademarks discussion of the Board, as there are a variety of things related to trademark that we need to clarify. Thanks for reminding us. Bryen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help@opensuse.org

When is the next discussion about such things? I fear there is a lot of confusion on this type of thing and sooner its cleared up the better. Just my two cents :) I know that now I'm quite confused! -Matt -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help@opensuse.org

The SUSE Studio team run into this quite often and Cornelius from the team wanted to write up a proposal on how to change the rules.

Yes, I actually started to draft a proposal for changing the trademark guidelines to better address these kind of questions. My plan is to present that on the opensuse-project mailing list for feedback and further discussion, when the draft is ready. I hope to do that in the next one or two weeks. -- Cornelius Schumacher <cschum@suse.de> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help@opensuse.org

Thanks for the heads-up on Cornelius, AJ! I've replied to him letting him know that the board just now opened up an openFATE feature request for comments on trademark guidelines so we can start to gather up more comments from the community at large. You can see it here at https://features.opensuse.org/311039 Folks, let's get comments up that you have concerns with. The more comments we see the better we can work with developing a more comprehensive guideline that works for everyone. I'm anxious to get the trademark discussion going at the Board level after it got derailed a bit months ago.
