This was extracted (@ 2024-11-19 16:10) from a list of minutes which have been approved by the Board.
Please Note The Board typically approves the minutes of the previous meeting at the beginning of every Board meeting; therefore, the list below does not normally contain details from the minutes of the most recent Board meeting.

WARNING: these pages may omit some original contents of the minutes.
This is due to changes in the layout of the source minutes over the years. Fixes are being worked on.

Meeting times vary, the exact schedule is available to ASF Members and Officers, search for "calendar" in the Foundation's private index page (svn:foundation/private-index.html).

Review Apache Project Branding Guidelines

19 May 2010

 http://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/pmcs

 Doug: I applaud your efforts. I think the draft looks good. As far
 as enforcing and rollout: perhaps we can ask each project to report
 (as a part of their normal reporting cycle) as to whether or not
 they are conforming to the policy.

 Brett: I expect the most controversial part is the TM on the logos.

 Shane: If we take our trademarks seriously, we should have a TM on
 the logo.

 Shane: we are also revising the feather to include various formats
 and sizes, and will be requesting that each project migrate to any
 updated version as time permits in the future.

 Jim: my takeaway is that the board is behind the direction: continue
 on

 Roy: we have traditionally avoided lawsuits, and TM's make us look
 corporate. Overall, I'm not thrilled, but am willing to go along.

 Doug: the lack of TM's has caused confusion in the past, and a TM's
 will help us socialize this
