(note mixed public and private lists) Mark,
Adding trademarks@ for their visibility. I have a couple of questions listed below: On Mon, Jun 10, 2013 at 11:07:47PM +0000, Mark Hinkle wrote: > Hello, > > I have an opportunity for OSCON(http://www.oscon.com/oscon2013) that Citrix > would like to provide to Apache CloudStack. > As always, thanks to Citrix for offering this type of sponsorship donation to the project. > We have an Open@Citrix booth 20'x20' at OSCON as part of the OSCON > exhibit(http://www.oscon.com/oscon2013/public/content/sponsors).

My concern is the potential confusion about Citrix and Apache CloudStack in how the pavilion is presented. Can you share a bit about how you see the brands being kept distinct, and how any potential confusion about the project being Citrix owned would be reduced? To be clear, this is *not* a vote of no confidence. I just want to understand how things will be presented. trademarks@ - any thoughts on the concern above? Am I off base?
