The Incubator Branding Guide notes:
"Podlings websites SHOULD contain the Apache Incubator Project logo as
sign of affiliation."
More importantly, the key point is that podlings must ensure their
public websites make it clear they are a podling; or rather, that they
are not (yet) an official Apache project or product. Using the
incubator logo in some secondary page space is fine; likewise, the
footers or other secondary branding on the pages should note the podling
is undergoing Incubation.
Oh, yeah, the site does most of that that already! 8-)
I think it might be useful in this case to have a new "General" link to
a subpage about "What is Incubation" or something - i.e. a brief
overview of why it's incubating and what that means for end users and
the larger community.
Overall, the best idea is to figure out how this project wants to manage
it's branding with some more specific proposals, and then ask for
approvals/assistance from Apache Legal and Branding. Having concrete
questions to answer is much simpler.

Sounds good. I think there are some rules about how the Apache
symbols are used for in-incubator podlings. (There is a revealing
topic on T-shirts somewhere, either legal-discuss or
general-incubator, I think.)

Hi Kay,
Amazing the volume of emails that came in while driving from San
Francisco to Los Angeles.

There are some first steps proceding with moving portions of the

This page lacks headers and footers, which brings me to...
I know there's been discussion about the current OpenOffice.org
logo
Regenerate the current headers and footers, but it needs to be done
via wrapping in the Apache CMS.
In ooo/site/trunk/templates
sidenav.mdtext single_narrative.html skeleton.html
Take skeleton.html and make a ooo_skeleton.html
In ooo/site/trunk/lib
path.pm view.pm
In path.pm:
our @patterns = ( [qr!\.mdtext$!, single_narrative => { template =>
"single_narrative.html" }], ) ;
Add a pattern to identify the html that kenai wrapped before. This
will be tricky as there may be html that we want to just push through
- I think that was "*.html.html" file in Kenai.
This pattern can refer either directly to ooo_skeleton.html or refer
to an "ooo_narative.html" which refers to ooo_skeleton.html.
In view.pm we will need a python routine to pump content into the
markup.
For now concentrate on turning one or two to the current pages into a
"template" and then we can do the steps outlined above.
vis a vis trademarks, possible changes due to Apache etc.
But could someone give us an update on this?
When we have our samples together then I think we should describe to
Trademarks and Legal-Discuss what we have done. They'll tell us if we
need to change anything. The project might want to do a little "bike
shedding" on the design.
Can we use the existing logo without changes (i.e. ref to Apache?)
or ???
I thought we would add a small Apache feather to the header
somewhere, but the footer might be ok, too.
There seems to be few Apache projects. e.g Buildr, which don't seem
to use the Apache logo, and since there seems to be a consensus to
keep OpenOffice.org at a site openoffice.org, I'm wondering if we
can just proceed with what we ahve in terms of headers for web
pages without change.
A lot of projects have the Apache logo in one corner and the project
logo in the other.
My personal feeling is that the colors on the Apache feather clash
with the light sky blue of OOo. I have seen some examples where the
Feather has different colors but these may be legacy.
Regards, Dave
