Hi all, following our recent email discussion
<http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/use-of-FOSS4G-SotM-Oceania-logo-td5378925.html>
about the community use of the FOSS4G SotM Oceania logo, I want to frame
this as a motion we can vote on, and move forward.

I understand there are concerns about retaining control over usage, so I
propose:

MOTION: We adopt a permission-based approach to the use of our logo, where
we can grant explicit permission for use, by request. Unless there are
specific concerns about potential misuse of the logo, we will generally be
permissive, and provide guidance along the lines of:

*Hi <>,*

*We are glad to hear that you would like to embrace the ethos of FOSS4G and
make use of the FOSS4G SotM Oceania logo. We are fine with this use, but
ask that you be mindful of the following:*

** Please make it clear that we are not endorsing your company or brand,
although we'd be happy if you wish to endorse us, such as "<Company> -
proud supporters of * *FOSS4G SotM Oceania**".*

** Please avoid confusion where people might think that the wearers of the
shirt are official event organisers, maybe by making our logo small
compared to other artwork on the shirt.*
