(I that case I would like order a couple.) We will have to explore this further. But I don't believe Sugar Labs is interested in controlling any thing:( Instead, Sugar Labs would like to leverage the Sugar and Sugar Labs brands as 'marks of quality' so that when our partners, like you, sell products, their customers know they are getting quality educational products. This will require some degree of control to limit the mis-use of sugar in substandard products. david > Just let me know, > > 2ct, > > Marten > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > -- > Marten Vijn > linux 2.0.18 OpenBSD 3.6 FreeBSD 4.6 > http://martenvijn.nl > http://opencommunitycamp.org > http://wifisoft.org > > > ___ > IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!) > IAEP@lists.sugarlabs.org > http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/iaep > ___ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)

Marten, there's no problem for me if you want to put stickers on sticks, just please be sure to use the official Sugar Labs logo (http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Logo). Right now we prefer "Sugar Labs" instead of "Sugar" as the former googles us much better than the latter. Sugar Labs is a trademarked logo and some printing houses may want to verify your right to reprint, I can of course help you with that if the question is asked. I'm ordering the first batch of 100 branded sticks for FOSSVT (http://www.ncose.org) but I don't have an objection to local Labs and partners doing their own sticks if the logo guidelines are respected. if you have the possibility to send me one of the sticks, I'd appreciate it, if not a good photo would be fine. If you can, please choose sticks with LED activity indicators, this will help users avoid losing data. That said, this policy may change with the arrival of Sugar on a Stick v1.0 in a few months, so it would be best to check back as we approach that. By the way, I'm looking for someone to help translate our press release in Dutch, would you or anyone you know be able to help me with that? thanks a lot Sean Marketing Coordinator On Wed, Mar 18, 2009 at 4:49 PM, David Farning wrote: > On Wed, Mar 18, 2009 at 10:23 AM, Marten Vijn wrote: >> On Fri, 2009-03-13 at 15:18 +0100, Sean DALY wrote: >>> 5.

The trick w brands is to show that you control the brands and logos... This means that you are expected to set some rules and complain to people (and eventuallysend C&D) who don't follow them. So now, from the dept of out-of-the-box-ideas: One of the rules may be: use of logos A, C and B is restricted. Logo D is unrestricted, redistributable, etc for use in community efforts without having to ask for permission. Would that help?

A few months ago the oversight board decided to adopt the same trademark policy of the Wikimedia Foundation: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Logo_and_trademark_policy I'm afraid our intentions weren't properly advertised in the wiki, but until we revise our trademark policy again, people can assume they have these rights on the Sugar Labs logo assets. -- // Bernie Innocenti - http://www.codewiz.org/ \X/ Sugar Labs - http://www.sugarlabs.org/ ___ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
