>> [Wed Mar 18 20:22:35 2015] <robertkowalski>: i am happy to help out

>> [Wed Mar 18 20:22:37 2015] <Wohali>: jan____: as always the hard thing is

>> [Wed Mar 18 20:23:19 2015] <jan____>: Wohali: yeah, looking forward how

>> [Wed Mar 18 20:23:23 2015] <Wohali>: yay
>> [Wed Mar 18 20:23:40 2015] <Wohali>: i'd say get the ip clearance done,

>> [Wed Mar 18 20:55:52 2015] <jan____>: I did some local hacking on the

>> [Wed Mar 18 21:04:59 2015] <Kxepal>: sebastianrothbuc: no, because some

>> [Wed Mar 18 21:26:18 2015] <robertkowalski>: do they vote -1 in the
>> committer vote?
>> [Wed Mar 18 21:26:26 2015] <Wohali>: no no the committer vote is "vote for

>> [Wed Mar 18 21:26:31 2015] <Wohali>: and we include the original logo as

>> [Wed Mar 18 21:26:45 2015] <robertkowalski>: Wohali: ah thank you!
>> [Wed Mar 18 21:26:47 2015] <Wohali>: then the PMC vote is to accept/reject

>> [Wed Mar 18 21:26:50 2015] <Wohali>: arun_agarwal: go ahead
>> [Wed Mar 18 21:27:29 2015] <arun_agarwal>: Wohali: which team decides the

>> [Wed Mar 18 21:27:35 2015] <arun_agarwal>: other logo and that could be

>> [Wed Mar 18 21:27:48 2015] <arun_agarwal>: do we have a team which brings

>> [Wed Mar 18 21:28:15 2015] <Wohali>: Apache does have legal council who

>> [Wed Mar 18 21:28:18 2015] <jan____>: #action robertkowalski writes a text

>> [Wed Mar 18 21:28:31 2015] <jan____>: arun_agarwal: there is a trademarks
