In my past life, I would have said "official Apache events" are only the events that: - Are branded as Apache events - "ApacheCon*" or anything with "Apache" in the name. Otherwise, how does the world know they're official? - Are organized by planners@ or by an Apache PMC or otherwise in a situation where VP Conferences or a PMC has a direct and official say in defining the conference content. As opposed to a commercial company that's often competing with our projects. The issue is - who decides? If *we* don't have a clear definition and stamp of approval, we've seen in the past there are vendor-run events that regularly hijack our project's trademarks for their own benefit - and sometimes to our project's detriment. Events should only show on our calendar with the magic "official Apache Event" stamp if it uses our branding directly. But I also agree that we should make it much easier to list the many other events in the same calendar, both at the ASF level as well as at a project level. > > Please refine the definition to make it a better fit. -- - Shane Director & Member The Apache Software Foundation --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@community.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@community.apache.org
