gnome-logos package
(Sending to foundation-list because I think the people that are most interested with trademark issues are on this list) Hi, One thing that I think GNOME is missing right now is a packaged set of logos that gnome applications can use. We do have logos here: http://www.gnome.org/~jdub/random/logo/ and a few here: http://live.gnome.org/LogoGuidelines But I think what we really need is a packaged tarball of the logos with a license dictating how they can be used include in the gnome release so that gnome applications can use the logos. The reason I'm bringing this up is because gnome-screensaver has recently gained a floaters screensaver that depends on having a scalable version of the gnome-foot logo. --Ray Strode ___ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
Re: GNOME strongly supports open standards including OpenDocument Format
I think this is a good idea; however, I'm not sure GNOME developers agree with this as a group. For example, people still feel that by default GNOME should ship with stuff that makes it easy to encode to mp3 or rip CD's for their hardware devices that do not support open formats; or that GNOME should play DVD's. Maybe a check with the developer base is needed first ? Putting up such a statement as the Foundation and then having a lot of developers disagree with it in practice seems a bad situation to be in. Who's going to be against encouraging open standards? For what possible reason? That's like being against cute puppies.

Re: GNOME strongly supports open standards including OpenDocument Format
We might even consider a press release explaining our point of view. [snip] Fine with me, though I don't think anybody will notice. Just making a statement may not have much effect. However, asking visitors to the site to write to politicians can have more effect. ___ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
Re: GNOME strongly supports open standards including OpenDocument Format
For example, people still feel that by default GNOME should ship with stuff that makes it easy to encode to mp3 or rip CD's for their hardware devices that do not support open formats; or that GNOME should play DVD's. I think there is a misunderstanding--we are not talking about those issues, not now. The issue at hand is encouraging governments to switch to free formats. Maybe a check with the developer base is needed first ? There is no time for that, and fortunately no need. Putting up such a statement as the Foundation and then having a lot of developers disagree with it in practice seems a bad situation to be in. Not to worry, we know that won't happen on this issue. As for inclusion of code for MP3s and DVDs, I think everyone here would be in favor of that, as long as that code is free software. But there are places where we cannot do this, because the government serves the forces of injustice. ___ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
