As a marketer in a rather traditional market, I'm conditioned to think that I need to preserve my brand wherever possible, to make sure everything looks consistent in every medium. At the same time, it's foolish, and I think, counter to FLOSS ideology, to clamp down on this sort of 'fan art', to categorize it broadly. So how does a company deeply devoted to open source ideology interact with fan art? Canonical owns the brand / trademark, but we license it very freely to the Ubuntu community. Folks who want to set something up that claims to be Ubuntu, or representing Ubuntu, just send mail to tradema...@canonical.com and as long as the use falls within the trademark policy, it gets ack'd and approved. Your point is exactly right: Ubuntu is bigger than Canonical's contributions could ever make it, it's the sum of aspirations, hope, dreams and effort from a very large community, and that community needs to be able to express itself and speak for Ubuntu. In the design guidelines, we have a framework for styling that includes an axis from Canonical - Community. When designing materials, you ask the question am I speaking for a Canonical service or offering, or from a Canonical perspective, or from a community perspective, or somwehre in between. Then, based on the position on that axis, we provide guidance as to the balance of colour in the materials (in short, more Canonical == more aubergine, more Community == more orange). We're breaking quite a bit of new ground, I think, in formalising the voice of a broader community in the brand.

Re: [Ayatana] Maverick Movies!
Well there is a problem that the font isnt out yet to the public and I dont think most of the ads people are making are ubuntu members. If a person is making an ad is there a way to give them access to the font to make the branding consistent? --fagan On Sat, Aug 21, 2010 at 7:15 AM, Mark Shuttleworth m...@ubuntu.com wrote: On 20/08/10 15:17, Christian Giordano wrote: Shouldn't we promote our style guides?

Actually the font is available for everyone with a Launchpad account [1] but it seems not a lot of people know this...

[Ayatana] Sound menu slider interaction
Why does clicking on the bar make the slider move in that direction and not to that specific point? I can’t imagine how often I accidentally turned the music to the loudest level and was really embarrassed. Other players I tested don’t do that (Youtube, Vimeo, some other web stuff, VLC). As Totems volume and Shotwells adjustment sliders do the same (very annoying behavior as proved in the Shotwell tests), I think it might be GTK standard behavior. So, who do I need to talk to to get this changed? If there already was a discussion about this, please point me to it. :) ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : ayatana@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
