About OFBiz® brand
Hi All,
As some maybe know I'm actively monitoring the OFBiz� brand on the Internet, so sorry to annoy you with below trivial things, someone has to do it.
I stumbled upon few cases I'd like to openly discuss
I noticed there are OFBiz related domains which are to sell, at least
http://ofbiz.com/
http://www.ofbiz.it/
ofbizdemo.com
I think it's not a problem because they are not really used. I'll simply continue to monitor them...
http://www.ofbiz.in/ is a bit more problematic because it redirects to http://www.antwebsystems.com/control/main without the "minimal fair sentence"
there. Though it seems clear to me that GrowERP is "OFBiz Powered by", not sure the redirection is needed, legacy?
There is also the https://twitter.com/apache_ofbiz account which should IMO discontinued since it relates to https://twitter.com/grow_erp (same kind
of redirection as above, the "Powered by" logo is used)
Finally the https://twitter.com/apache_ofbiz account is referenced at https://twitter.com/jzb/lists/apache/members when
https://twitter.com/ApacheOfbiz is not. But I think it's not a problem, I just learnt that this list is no longer maintained and was, according to Joe
Brockmeier <jz...@zonker.net> created <<just for reference for somebody to create the list under the @theasf account.>>
Opinions?
Jacques

Thanks Shane,
I'll review it in details (including the Fedora link!). This will be quite useful and better than relying on individual opinions, at least as a start,
individual opinions are always valuable!
Cheers
Jacques

For future reference, we have detailed steps for how to go about
reporting potential misuses of any Apache project's brand, which has a
few useful tips for starting to evaluate if any of these uses are OK or
require us to ask for changes:
