Meh. What does it matter?

You mean, why should we support Hackathons around Struts?
Or why should we protect our trademarks?

The first question is obvious. So more so better.

The second question: I followed the problems of Hadoop, CouchDB and so on. If we generally allow the use of the term Strutsathon we can not ask for respecting
our trademarks if a commercial entity abuses it (in our eyes).

I believe it should be in the hands of the PMC to keep control of Strutsathons and protecting
the trademark of it is in my opinion a first step.

Adding "-athon" is common, I'm not sure I understand why we're discussing
it.


Please read my initial email. Besides adding it as a trademark, I suggest
to create some pages to support community driven Strutsathons

Don't worry!

I think it was great you have chosen the term and you should keep it. I see a good opportunity to improve our community work when we manage
to establish the term Strutsathon.

I have to say "Thank you" for the good idea to organize another

Strutsathon

in Warsaw.



Thanks & kind regards

Hello folks,

as you know I previously invented the term "Strutsathon" for the first
Strutsathon in Augsburg:
http://strutsathon.opensource.****io/ <http://strutsathon.**
opensource.io/ <http://strutsathon.opensource.io/>



Now I saw Lukasz is using the term for one in Warsaw. I sense a
pattern
and
hope there will be more Strutsathons to follow!

As I invented the term "Strutsathon" I believe I have some ownership
in
it,
despite the fact I use the ASF trademark "Struts".
If I have any rights on it, I donate it to the project.

Then I believe we should add this term to our trademark information on
the
bottom of every page:

"Copyright © 2000-2013 The Apache Software Foundation. All Rights
Reserved.
Apache Struts, Struts, Strutsathon, Apache, the Apache feather logo,

and

the
Apache Struts project logos are trademarks of The Apache Software
Foundation."

PMC members who organize Strutsathons (or third parties whom we
allowed
to
do so) should write something like this to the bottom of their page:

"Apache Struts, Struts, Strutsathon and Apache are either registered trademarks or trademarks of the Apache Software Foundation in the

United

States and/or other countries, and are used with permission. The Apache
Software Foundation has no affiliation with and does not endorse, or
review
the materials provided at this event, which is managed by

opensource.io

."

(fyi: opensource.io is the brand i used to organize the strutsathon)

If you agree, I would like to add our new trademark here:

* www.apache.org/foundation/****marks/list/index.html<http://www.apache.org/foundation/**marks/list/index.html>
<

http://www.apache.org/**foundation/marks/list/index.**html<http://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/list/index.html>



And notify the trademarks team on this. I don't think there are
comparable
trademarks out, we are a trend setter :-)

Finally I would like to push this kind of events and suggest we create

an

official website for Struts related
events where we list for example the past event and also new events

like

the
Warsaw one.

Thoughts?

Cheers
Christian
