Request for Use of ASF Logo
Hi Everyone
The Women in Big Data (WiBD) presentation session has been arranged and committer Kathy Saunders will be presenting it. I think they also mentioned some other committers will be participating.
They are now looking at promoting the talk and are requesting permission to use the ASF logo for their publicity. The session is going to be called 'An Evening with the Apache Software Foundation: The Benefits of Being Open\u2019 Hosted by Hortonworks
Will it be OK for them for use the ASF logo to promote this talk and put on their publicity?
Thanks
Sharan

Hi Shane
Thanks for the response. It's probably better if I put you in contact with
my contact in the WiBD group as she would be able to answer your queries.
I will forward the details to the trademarks list.
Thanks
Sharan

Sharan, can you be more specific as to what this event is and where
you're requesting use of the logo?
The issue is that using the ASF's feather logo as part of the primary
branding gives the impression that this is an official Apache event.
While it's great when Apache committers can speak at events, that
doesn't mean they're speaking on behalf of the ASF as a whole.
My quick take without understanding more is that this is not OK. It's
fine for an "About this speaker" page on a normal conference site to
mention that someone's an Apache committer on project X and include the
project logo, because that's about the person.
But allowing a single vendor to use the Apache feather to promote their
event overall... not usually a good idea.
