Hi,
I would like to propose --*seeking lazy consensus*-- that the BHV publishing
GmbH, Novesiastrasse 60, D-41564 Kaarst (Germany) is permitted to use the
OpenOffice.org logo and trademark for their book (in preparation)
"OpenOffice.org 3.3 für Ein- und Umsteiger" [1] [2], means something like
"OOo 3.3 for beginners and people who are migrating" in English. This
package includes a handbook (printed and eBook) and a DVD with the OOo
binaries. The OOo logo and trademark would be used on the book cover, within
the book and on the label of the DVD. BHV has been publishing similar books
for previous versions of OOo for many years, e.g. [3].
I would like to advocate granting the OOo logo usage to BHV, as such books
foster the public visibility of OOo.

A minor suggestion: I don't think we (as the PPMC) have the ability
to approve a request. Only Apache Branding can do that. But what we
can do is give a recommendation to Apache Branding.
I guess you mean resubmitting the proposal to [email protected], right?
So, if this is acceptable to you, could we re-word your proposal as:
Of course.
Best regards,
Peter

Proposed: The Apache OpenOffice.org Podling recommends to Apache
Branding that permission to use the OpenOffice.org trademark and logo
be granted to BHV publishing GmbH, Novesiastrasse 60, D-41564 Kaarst
(Germany) for their book (in preparation) "OpenOffice.org 3.3 für

Mr. Ralf Kraft, representing BHV (nit subscribed to this ML) is on CC.
(NOTE: The mock-up of the cover is still using the old OOo logo, but I
already have been pointing out to Mr. Kraft that using the latest logo [4]
would be preferred.)
