In general, yes, you are allowed to use the logo.  There are guidelines
posted on the web (not sure where..) spelling out proper usage, etc.

        Arnulf,
        
        Thanks for the clarification on the logos.  I was hoping to
prompt this topic thread with my posting. Also useful would be some
guidelines on how and where OSGeo logos can be used on other web pages,
particularly in light of the "self selection/opt in" membership
approach.  
        
        Are all members (i.e. anyone who registers on osgeo.org) allowed
to use the OSGeo logo on their project/personal/corporate web pages to
help identify their interest in OSGeo?  Should the logo be linked to a
particular page on osgeo.org? Should the original logo be used or some
modification of it?
        
        Thanks,
        
        Dan

                Hi,
                these logos must have slipped my attention. We should
not circulate them
                any further to maintain a clean brand.
                
                Current OSGeo policy does not differentiate outside
recognition of members
                and charter members so that we do not have a need for
separate logos.
                Charter members are only required internally for votes
into the board of
                directors.
                
                It has been discussed that the OSGeo logo should be
available with an
                additional tag line "Sponsor". It seems that the need to
differentiate
                between graduated and incubating projects is not seen as
that important.
                
                Jeroen will send a new set of logos around anytime soon.
We should discuss
                them at the next meeting.
                
                Best regards,
                Arnulf.
