+1 from trademarks@
Rationale: This is using the Apache Cloudstack logo unmodified, in a
list format with other software products. The meaning is clear and
explicit in the phrase "Citrix supports open source", with the listing
of obvious software products; this is nominative use and any informed
consumer would understand the reference.
Citrix then goes on (bottom half) to describe the cool stuff that they
do with this list of open source software products, which is obviously
all their own products and branding.
Just saying, this is a classic example of a good brand use. When used
in a list format (i.e. several obvious software products from different
vendors) and with an explicit "we use this" or "we support these" or the
like, it's clearly nominative use. Technically nominative use doesn't
even require asking us for permission, even on an event banner or other
marketing materials - although we always appreciate vendors who ask for
guidance!

Format would be a banner and potentially print in OSCON program/bag
drops. Thanks for your consideration.
Thanks, Mark
Mark - this is the CloudStack PMC ACK. I've included trademarks@ for
their lazy consensus. Please wait 72 hours to see if anyone objects on
either list, and consider this approved if there are no issues raised.
+1 from me personally
