[Board-es] [Fwd: RE: extending the logo to a local chapter]

[Lorenzo Becchi]

Como nos dice MPG, hay que encontrar una traducción a "your open source 
compass".
no tengo ni idea de donde encomenzar... seria algo para un comité de 
marketing ;-)
alguien quiere encargarse?

Lorenzo

If you are an official chapter, then most certainly yes.

> can we extend it?

Only in approved ways.  For example, we've talked about adding an icon to the logo for things like "Associate Member" or "Member Project" -- I think adding a similarly styled icon that says "España" or "Cascadia" or whatever would be great.

> can we change the "compass" phrase?

Not the en-us version, no.  But certainly adding a new officially translated version would be great.

Subject: [Marketing] extending the logo to a local chapter

in the last meeting of the Board of the Spanish Local chapter 
(board-es), we've focused on the need for a logo.
we have started a good number of initiative and we need to show a little 
bit of branding.

Our idea is to have a variant of OSGeo logo like: "OSGeo-es" and to 
translate or change "your open source compass".
We think that literal translation could result hilarious.

I've been talking about it with Jeroen in Valencia at the beginning of 
December.
Jeroen said that it is technically easy but would make sense to open the 
debate to make things properly.
I do agree.

as official local chapter, questions are:
- can we use the logo?
- can we extend it?
- car we change the "compass" phrase?

best regards
Lorenzo
