How ‘bout a half step further: web form with fields for person’s name, company, email, description, and image upload. CGI emails it to appropriate lists, we discuss and get back to requestor with yes/no.

It certainly doesn’t encourage people to use our brand. Take Karens recent request: theres been a dozen or so emails on it, all with our own viewpoint. Karen’s been CC’d on most of those I think. Shes probably sat there, with 1001 deadlines getting frustrated with lots of views on the subject – all she really wants to do is get some tshirts printed in time for some event or another. And Karen does this a lot: I remember the guys at Ikoula At the moment, the TM guide says this for non-software: • Without explicit written permission, goods bearing any of the CloudStack marks may not be sold. • Designs for non-software goods require both PMC approval and approval from [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>. I would love to see that changed to: If you wish to use the CloudStack mark on any non-software goods (maybe tee shirts for a conference or some marketing collateral) we’d love to see you do that. Please email [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> with artwork or a descrition and we’ll come back to you with approval within 5 days. You must not print until we have approval blah blah The PMC then can discuss internally if required (vote if required) and send a mail of to Shane and get back to requestor with a simple yes/no Kind Regards Giles Giles Sirett CEO D: +44 20 3603 0541 | S: +44 20 3603 0540 | M: +44 796 111 2055 [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> | www.shapeblue.com<http://www.shapeblue.com> | Twitter:@shapeBlue Find out more about ShapeBlue and our range of CloudStack related services IaaS Cloud Design & Build<http://shapeblue.com/iaas-cloud-design-and-build//> CSForge – rapid IaaS deployment framework<http://shapeblue.com/csforge/> CloudStack Consulting<http://shapeblue.com/cloudstack-consultancy/> CloudStack Infrastructure Support<http://shapeblue.com/cloudstack-infrastructure-support/> CloudStack Bootcamp Training Courses<http://shapeblue.com/cloudstack-training/> This email and any attachments to it may be confidential and are intended solely for the use of the individual to whom it is addressed.
