Have you gotten the mail proglem straightened out? I hope so because we can use all the participation we can get!!!

I'n pretty new to Ubuntu, so I am not really able to give you an authoritative answer as to the current reality, but the ideal situation would be that we ALL benefit. > > Canonical owns the Ubuntu trademarks and has the last word in everything > that has to do with using those marks.

By owning the trademarks, C pretty much has the FINAL say so in everything, since very little gets done that does not involve those trademarks and those trademarks are a very essential part of marketing Ubuntu. That is why understanding the rules of what the marketing team can and cannot do is so important and why we need to set up close communication with someone from Canonical. And making the communiy aware of what we can and cannot do with those trademarks should be one of the major tasks of the team. > > I think that I have reconfigured the mail client on this computer to use > the address that is "the member's address" this time. > > Thank You > Mike Feravolo > Cocoa Beach, FL USA > > -- Peace!
