Hmmm. (Corrected.) I agree with Avash to the point that we should have guidelines about use of FOSS NEPAL logo. But again disagree that FOSS XYZ is under FOSS Nepal. We are not trying to create a formal organization here. If FOSS XYZ can have their own logo like any other college community have. FOSS Nepal is not a super set of other communities .. Its just that its a common ground for all community to come together and give a sense of unity.
If any community use FOSS Nepal logo, the community will be interpreted as subset of FOSS Nepal.So I vote for having separate logo of each community. If really some community wish to be subset of FOSS Nepal Community, We need to have a discussion on paving the way.. giving appropriate solution.
