+1 - please note that I'm asking Melissa to manage the events calendar which means that Melissa will be monitoring this list.
So I suggest the text would be something like (no time to wordsmith and post it right now - very happy if someone else can add it) "The Community Development PMC is responsible for assisting with the organisation and promotion of all Apache events. The three main steps 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 c) inform comdev of your event once brand use is approved, including references to PMCs approval. Ideally on this public(dev@community.apache.org) list, but at least in private(priv...@community.apache.org). d) Once public send an announcement of your event to dev@community.apache.org so that it can be included in our events calendar( http://community.apache.org/calendars/index.html)" Melissa is also tasked with creating an Event in a Box support package for event producers. We can make this guidance part of that. Ross Gardler (@rgardler) Senior Technology Evangelist Microsoft Open Technologies, Inc.
