Thanks Shane. To be clear, Apache policy on podling branding[1] states:
"*Podling has been approved for incubation, podling has launched public mailing lists, and podling has dropped code into repository*: A podling*MUST * now be called *Apache "Podling-Name"* (see Naming<http://incubator.apache.org/guides/branding.html#Naming> below). A podling and affiliated persons can issue press releases that reference the podling, but cannot issue press releases with the specific intent of announcing the Podling. Podling can conduct informal pr activities, such as media outreach, blog publicity, etc. The ASF will not issue any press releases for any podling at this stage. However, the Public Relations Committee *MUST* review any releases by affiliated organizations or groups to ensure they comply with these branding guidelines." So there is no requirement to run our blogs or media outreach efforts through Apache press office before posting, correct? The statement about press releases by affiliated organizations is clear enough. * * /don [1] http://incubator.apache.org/guides/branding.html On Fri, Sep 23, 2011 at 9:55 PM, Shane Curcuru <a...@shanecurcuru.org> wrote: > I'd recommend that folks contact the Apache press team in the future if > there are articles in the press that the project has issues with (or, things > we'd like to highlight in @TheASF or the Foundation blog): > > http://www.apache.org/press/ > > pr...@apache.org is a privately archived list, and has people with > experience with most of the major technology journalists and bloggers out > there who cover open source.
