OK Eric Im in
------ "As I have mentioned in another thread, I am willing to work on this branding exercise. So far nobody has stepped forward to assist or to begin the branding suggestion. So once again; who is willing to help? Enough of talk already. It's time to get off our collective fat asses and get something moving." --------- Lets start with outline what we need to do :- The work :- 1) Copyright and Trademark need to take into consideration. We need from day 0 take good care of this so nobody can claim what we have discuss here is theirs. We don't have legal entity, we need to trust someone. - A company with a agreement. Kat Malaysia ni Foundation mahal... 2) Branding need things thats visual and can be used by others. Apogee wiling to produce the logo and things. But he need feedback from us. Another issues we need to disscuss is, under what legal protection we want to protect all the logo and things. - CCC or Free Art License??? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Art_license 3) For OSDC.my lets as it is at this moment. Scope OSDC.my asal sudah lari. Its suppose for developers but due to our community is still small, all rojak here. But I believe and agree we need to expand ourself. For the whole OSS community, we need to have our own naming and branding. We already have FOSS list and all the faculties like mailing list and web already provided by our friends. Lets the coordination involved all communities and projects. HackerspaceKL already provide us with a place for meetup and activities. Due to limited resources like money and time, we need to use what we already have. I see the way but still to iron up one important issue. Coordination between us. Nanti sambung ...
