[Qgis-psc] Re: qgis.eu and other domains

[Tim Sutton]

Hi

Oh wow - luckily the qgis.co.za domain was still available so I am
quickly registering it. Maybe we can just ask people in different
countries to register QGIS.??.?? and point it to qgis.org.

Perhaps we have some leverage to get the domain taken back in poland
due to trademark infringement? Perhaps we need to register a trademark
and get some mean french lawyers on our side?

BTW Borys lets use the mailing list - people complain when we discuss
things under the radar and I agree we should keep our discussions
open.

Regards

Tim
