Howdy Rob,
Ah trademarks - yes, I agree the Apache OpenOffice should have a TM, a la:
"IBM® Lotus® Symphony™ is a suite of open source office applications."
FYI on the existing consultant entries
http://www.openoffice.org/bizdev/consultants.html
none have the TM after Apache OpenOffice, and some don't even have "Apache"
in front of OpenOffice. So...not sure if we should manually correct these
already approved submissions.
Of course, it's our site so we can do what we want. My point is we should
be consistent in how OpenOffice is presented in them -- with "Apache" or
not; with TM after or not.
I also think that webpage should show consistent information. As the
existing items don't have too much indication about trademarks & co.,
IMHO we can also abstain with regards to Rob's suggestion.
Furthermore:
The top headline says it all: ;-)
Apache OpenOffice Consultants
So, I think the point #4 on
"http://www.openoffice.org/bizdev/consultant-submission.html"; can be
eased a bit as it is clear enough that the items are with and for our
project resp. product.

A couple of quick questions if I may.
Will the support only be available to those with the IBM connectors? IIRC
that was the plan in the past.
Also, does IBM have any plans to list AOO support on the United States GSA
registry? This was available in the past but not available for the last few
years.
Thanks,

Sorry, but I think the website does not comply with the
necessary formalities.
Always has been emphasized, these are marked on the
relevant websites trademark of Apache, for example:
"IBM Support for Apache OpenOffice<TM>"
and not only:
"IBM Support for Apache OpenOffice"
I think that would be more confusing.
Sorry, but appearance is imho not so much the issue here, but rather
trademark rights of Apache.
Yes, that is formal, but how else should this be handled?
It would suggest the entire
name was a trademark since it is a continuous name with capital
letters.
It does not have to be in the headline. Put identification in continuous
text, for example in:
"IBM® Support for Apache OpenOffice™ offers expert technical support for
Apache OpenOffice™, ..."
where IBM is already marked with ®.
Greetings,
Jörg
