[OSGeo-Discuss] sorting out a new deal for osgeo incubation

[Jody Garnett]

Update from the OSGeo incubation committee - based on the board meeting
feedback/direction.

TLDR: We are renegotiating the balance between the incubation and osgeo
labs.

The high level direction is focused on open-source outreach and being
inclusive as an organization. OSGeo Labs is not meeting these goals, and we
think we can build on our incubation experience to offers something more
appropriate.

If you are interested in joining the discussion the OSGeo Incubation
committee welcomes new volunteers. The mailing list is here

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] ​​OSGeo Seal Design Contest

[Cameron Shorter]

I'm interested to know how a company seal should be different to our 
existing OSGeo Logo?

https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Logo

* Would a company seal dilute the branding of the logo?

* Should the company seal be based on the OSGeo logo in order to 
consolidate brand recognition? (I assume so)

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Wiki Clean-Up

[Cameron Shorter]

Hi Landon,
It is usually not a good idea to delete pages, (as people maybe be 
looking for them in future).
Probably better would be to remove the content of the page, and set up a 
redirect to a more appropriate page.

On the tabs next to edit, there's a "More" I see delete under that. If
you're not seeing that option it's probably a permissions thing.

Moving this over to the System Admin Committee list where the admins
will see it.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] ​​OSGeo Seal Design Contest

[Jody Garnett]

The seal is more formal (as described used in a similar fashion as a
signature for awards, contracts, agreements).

I imagine a successful design could make use of the logo - perhaps you
would like to submit your idea Cameron?

​The way I see it, the seal should be a compact (probably round),
black design. I left the design brief open on purpose, but I'd expect
mostly variations of the existing logo. ​
