[Marketing] Use of OSGeo Logo for a FOSS Project

Committees Marketing
1

Núria,
You can see the guidelines for making use of the OSGeo trademark here:
http://www.osgeo.org/content/foundation/legal/trademark_guidelines.html

The bottom line is that OSGeo encourages the use of the OSGeo logo to indicate use of OSGeo software. Your MOU with OSGeo would be a suitable reason for making use of OSGeo software.

Assuming you are using the logo on a website, please also link back to http://osgeo.org from the logo.

I'm CCing this email to the marketing committee, which I expect would be the best forum to discuss the OSGeo logo.

    Dear Charlie,

    First of all, let me introduce me: I am Núria responsible for
    Dissemination Projects at SIGTE-University of Girona(1).

    We are promoting one of our FOSS initiatives, called formaSIG(2):
    an online training platform specializing in Free and Open Source
    Software for Geospatial. Since a MOU between OSGeo and SIGTE was
    signed few months ago, and the MOU covers the mutual promotion of
    activities for FOSS for Geospatial, I would like to ask if it
    allows us to include OSGeo logo on formaSIG website(2).

I am forwarding this to Cameron Shorter who is on the OSGeo board, since I am not sure what the protocol is to handle this request. It seems reasonable to me, Cameron -- what do you think?

I look forward to looking more at what you've done, Nuria.

Charlie Schweik

    Thank you in advance. I'm at your disposal,

    Best Regards.

Yes, I think that is a suitable use of the OSGeo logo.

Dear all,

Please review the OSGeo logo included on the website (bottom banner) and let me know your comments. Maybe, the OSGeo logo could be accompanied by a category (supported by... (?))

Thank you in advance.
