Not sure what final resolution at ASF level will be, but it brings a lot of question on trademarks which been registered on behalf of foundation. Not only graphical ones, but also "verbal". Given all that I would rather wait with any changes until board makes a resolution, if it does then it will become a coordinated effort spanning across many places.

Yeah sure we can remove the feather. We have a lot of other Toddy Logos
with PLC s and so on anyway.

I am just wondering how we could at least incorporate the colors from the
ASF.

Hi all,

I know that initially I had our designer add the feather to our logo, to
lay emphasis on the relation to the ASF.

Now over the last few years there have been many rounds of fruitless
discussions on changing the name of the Apache Software Foundation as it
would be harming the Native American Cultural Groups.
Many people are discussing on how we could rename the ASF or which steps
we could do.

One argument, that even if “Apache Webserver” was derived from “A Patchy
Webserver” as it initially was a webserver with a lot of patches. Nobody
can argue against the fact that the feather does refer more to native
Americans than towards a set of patches.

So, I thought … how about us starting to do a first step and we remove the
feather from our logo?

What are your thoughts on this?

Chris
