Hi all,
David and Noah - thank you for the feedback and pointers. It is much appreciated and very helpful. Mark - thanks for confirming that you have received the approval from ConCom. I will do the following: 1) Since the Apache CloudStack logo will be used on www.cloudstackcollab.org<http://www.cloudstackcollab.org>, I will have the web team link the logo to http://cloudstack.apache.org. Karen to loop in trademarks@ and CC priv...@cloudstack.apache.org<mailto:priv...@cloudstack.apache.org> detailing how the logo and other trademarks are used throughout the conference. (Including website, invitations, lanyards, t-shirts or any other swag, booths, etc.) and the steps we have taken to make sure they are used responsibly. 2) Add a footer on www.cloudstackcollab.org<http://www.cloudstackcollab.org> - 'Apache, CloudStack, Apache CloudStack, and the Cloud Monkey are trademarks or registered trademarks of the Apache Software Foundation' 3) Have the ASF listed as a community partner. 4) Add a paragraph with a brief description of Apache CloudStack to www.cloudstackcollab.org<http://www.cloudstackcollab.org> on the 'About page' and landing page. This will also include a link back to the Apache project's home page (http://cloudstack.apache.org/), linked from the "Apache CloudStack" wording. About Apache CloudStack Apache CloudStack is open source software designed to deploy and manage large networks of virtual machines, as a highly available, highly scalable Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud computing platform. CloudStack is used by a number of service providers to offer public cloud services, and by many companies to provide an on-premises (private) cloud offering, or as part of a hybrid cloud solution. 5) Approval from ComCon was done in February 2013 (Mark has confirmed). 6) PPMC approval - 8 PMC members participated and seemed to all be for the event (David has confirmed). If anything else comes to mind, please feel free to share. Thanks!

Nick B. asked that we meet the requirements to have reps from more than two organizations on the planning committee. I thought we sent it to private but those archives aren't trasnparent so I cat confirm we also discussed on the public list with no objections. We have included Chip Childers, John Kinsella, David Nalley and Joe Brockmeier from the PMC to fulfill the requirements of having members from multiple organizations on the planning committee. We met on Friday and agreed we'd make the site live and let the marketing list know that it was live so we could get feedback and make sure all trademarks are applied properly. We agreed to make sure any changes happened as soon as possible if there were errors. I thought I jumped through every possible hoop here but if there's something I missed I'd be glad to do something else.
