[opensuse-project] Notification of change to the openSUSE Trademark Guidelines
Hi Project, The openSUSE Trademark Guidelines cover the circumstances under which people can use our openSUSE Trademarks & Logos. The Guidelines explain the areas where we welcome the use of our marks, and for all other possible uses we ask the interested parties make contact to discuss whether permission can be granted or not. In the past this was permission@suse.com, which was primarily used for gathering requests for SUSE's marks. For openSUSE requests the email address was jointly monitored by the Chairman on behalf of the Board so the Project could have a say in the use of our Projects marks. As of today the correct email address for openSUSE Trademark requests is board@opensuse.org. The Board will now act as the first point of contact and decision making for requests to use the openSUSE Marks, and will then involves SUSE Corporate Counsel for final verification. This better reflects the long-held reality that the openSUSE community can decide in the use of it's marks, and makes my life easier as I no longer will have to fish out openSUSE related requests from the SUSE pile. As part of this change to the Guidelines, I have also updated the relevant wiki page [1] with the correct list of openSUSE Trademarks - it looks like wires got crossed somewhere and the wiki page was suggesting the openSUSE Project had involvement with Trademarks that are nothing to do with our project.
