Re: [steering-discuss] trademark use request
Hi :) +1 I like it. It gets the name "out there". Perhaps the back of the box could say "LibreOffice is a registered trademark." as you suggested? or "LibreOffice is owned by The Document Foundation and is a registered trademark."? I thought the Branding Guidelines would cover this sort of request?

[steering-discuss] trademark use request
Hello, I received a trademark use request from an extension vendor. For confidentiality reasons (the product has not yet been launched), I'll remove the name, but the request is as follows: Front of the product box: XYZ for OpenOffice and LibreOffice Back of the product box: LibreOffice is a registered trademark of The Document Foundation. My thoughts: - OpenOffice is written wrong (.org is missing, but that's not our concern) - TDF doesn't legally exist, so I would simply remove the trademark holder entity from the text. Otherwise, I am fine with the text, as it doesn't look like an official product, nor that we endorse it; IMHO, it is not even required to get our permission to use it from a legal point of view.

Re: [steering-discuss] funding for system operations meeting
Hi :) I think the SC just voted on the 600 euroes excess. I think the full amount might need another vote. Coincidentally i think there is an Sc Meeting tonight(?) so it could be done quite quickly there? Perhaps vote on the full amount first and if that gets defeated then vote on the excess? I think there also needs to be some thought about Base. Should it be dropped from LO since it's not getting any attention? If TDF wants to keep Base is it prepared to recruit an employee as a dev or legal expert or team-leader (or a bit of all those) to properly build a good team to deal with the vast amount of complex issues that Base is suffering from? I think the money is there and should be used. I think Some supporters such as RedHat, Cannonical and Google might be willing to help but i think TDF needs to drive it.

OK - that sounds as if the decision by the FrODev BOD was to expend the 1,000 euro from the FrODev account, not the the TDF account, yes? > > However, since more money then offered by the German association is > needed, and the weekend was for the TDF admins, Actual costs exceeded projection by 60%. > I'd like to ask if the > SC is agreeing to spending some of the TDF money for it. Is the SC agreeing then to pay the entire 1,600 euro from the TDF fund now, or just the 600 excess?
