Hi comdev, We had a few cases recently where small events organizers were unsure of where and how to get approval for their events.
As Ross said elsewhere, the only requirements now are a) Get approval from the PMCs of projects that your event is about b) Abide by the http://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/events.html branding rules to which I'd add c) inform comdev of your event before it happens, including references to PMCs approval. Ideally on this public list, but at least in private. Can we add that info (yes I volunteer) to a new page that the "Events and mentoring" section of http://community.apache.org/ points to, or do we already have it somewhere? -Bertrand
