<p>John,</p>
<p>Here is my suggestion for a response in words:</p>
<p><i>Hi <>,</i></p>
<p><i>We are glad to hear that you would like to make embrace the
ethos of FOSS4G and make use of the FOSS4G logo. We are fine
with this use, but ask that you be mindful of the following:</i></p>
<p><i>* Please make it clear that FOSS4G and OSGeo is not endorsing
your company or brand, although we'd be happy if you wish to
endorse FOSS4G, such as "<Company> - proud supporters of
FOSS4G".</i></p>
<p><i>* Please avoid confusion where people might think that the
wearers of the shirt are official FOSS4G organisors. Maybe by
making the FOSS4G logo small compared to other artwork on the
shirt. </i><br>
</p>

<div dir="ltr">Thanks for the extended & constructive
discussion here. It's easy to just give a flat 'no', but yes,
these people are upstanding community members, and have come to
us in good faith with a fairly innocent request.

</div>
<div>If we can find a way to be permissive, by articulating
guidelines for logo usage, it feels much more in keeping with
our community's ethos around sharing and collaboration.

</div>
<div>Can we work on this? What if we gave an answer like:</div>

<div>"We're happy for you to use the FOSS4G SotM Oceania
logo. Please make sure that your usage doesn't cause
confusion as to the origin of whatever the logo is
placed on, and doesn't imply endorsement or approval."</div>

<div>Any suggestions on how to improve this? If we get some
words down, we can split it out into a motion for a vote, for
clarity (since there is a bit of disagreement in this thread).</div>
