Chris,
The logos and other OOo art can be obtained from the Art project at
http://marketing.openoffice.org/art/ . However, I think you need to
be an approved Community Distributor AND request permission from
[EMAIL PROTECTED] . See the "Banner and Logo Use"
section of http://www.openoffice.org/about_us/OEM_and_CD.html for
more details.
Thanks for your reply, but this is very confusing and frustrating.
OK, so I can distribute CDs. Fine. I do.
What is an "approved Community Distributor"? Does that require
something special? I thought I had applied to be one, but got no
response.
Is there a list of "approived Community Distributors" anywhere?
I've emailed the address above requesting permission to use the logos.
As I understand it (and I may be wrong, it has been known ;-) ) anyone
can download and redistribute CDs, either for free, or for a fee.
However, OOo's reputation is at stake, and therefore the Community try,
via the instructions on the site, to ensure that people are responsible
about doing this, which is why you're asked to subscribe to various
mailing lists and ask for permission to distribute and/or use the OOo logos.
The "Approved Community Distributor" list (AFAIK) is the list accessed
through the CD-Rom link on the homepage. Your email requesting
permission to distribute prompts the page maintainer to check out if
you're legit and, if so, list you on that page.
Bear in mind though that most who do this work are unpaid volunteers,
members of the "OOo Community", and AFAIK there is only Alex...

...who maintains the page. The fact that you didn't get a response as
quickly as you would like may mean that he is on holiday, or ill, or
just hasn't had the time to read and/or reply to emails recently. I'm
sure he will reply when he gets chance. In the mean time, I think you
will be fine distributing CDs and/or using official logos to promote OOo
:-)
Hope this clarifies things a bit.
Regards,
James
