You may use the Fedora logo on your site. However, if could correct the site notice as follows: "Fedora, the Fedora logo, Fedora Project and Red Hat are trademarks of Red Hat, Inc. The Fedora logo is used by permission." 1. Correct "the Fedora logo" so that "logo" is not capitalized 2. Correct "Fedora Project" to be two words, not one 3. Add the final sentence, "The Fedora logo is used by permission." This is satisfactory and you can continue using the logo on your site. We are working on writing clearer trademark guidelines to make usage like this easier. Paul W. Frields Fedora Project Leader ------------------------------------------------------- Thank you, Kulbir Saini, Computer Science and Engineering, International Institute of Information Technology, Hyderbad, India - 500032.

Maintaining the Fedora developer spin
by Rahul Sundaram 27 Jun '08

27 Jun '08

Hi, Andrew Overholt from the Red Hat Java team initiated a effort to create a Fedora developer spin (live DVD) for Fedora 8. Unfortunately he hasn't had time to continue to maintain it. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/8/ReleaseSummary In brief, a spin is a custom variant of Fedora targeted at more specific audience and can be either regular installation or live images. Refer http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/CustomSpins In this case, what is minimum required for you to maintain a spin is basic understanding of the kickstart syntax and livecd-creator, both of which are pretty easy to learn. I can help walk you through the process if you are interested. Do let me know if this interests you. Thanks. Rahul

Clarifications regarding fedora.co.in
by Kulbir Saini 27 Jun '08

27 Jun '08

Hi all! I own this domain (http://fedora.co.in/) since almost 3-4 months and use it to blog about Fedora and Linux related things. I took permission for using Fedora logo from FedoraProject (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Logo). I am not a RedHat employee and footer in the website says the same. I have changed the website name to "My Fedora". If anybody still have any problem and think that I am defaming FedoraProject or hurting anyone's sentiments, reply to this thread. PS : I am not going to move my blog to any other domain. ------------------------------------------------------- Thank you, Kulbir Saini, Computer Science and Engineering, International Institute of Information Technology, Hyderbad, India - 500032.

(http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Logo) ok, then may be logo problem but others are still remaining, like using the name 'Fedora India' and telling that you are not a part of Fedora project.

> As I already said, I am not related as in I am not an employee of RedHat Here is what you wrote: "Copyright (c) 2008 Kulbir Saini. I am not related to Red Hat or Fedora Project. The content on this site is my own views. " If you were not a related to the Fedora project, there is no way you could have that site on Planet Fedora. > and being a GSoCer doesn't make you an employee. Not an employee of Red Hat, but that does make you part of the Fedora Project since you are being mentored and selected under it, and technically you are "working for Google as a self-employed contract worker" (Leslie Hawthorne will give you the exact phrase). > I seriously wonder from > where this concept of "outsmarting others" dropped in and how I am trying to > outsmart others. Is there something left to seriously wonder about? Regards, Debarshi

Don't know about other countries but *yes* we have problems if someone is using the name 'Fedora India'. 'Fedora India' means the whole Fedora community from India, You just can not use that name for your personal statements. And you are using Fedora logo and telling there is no legal problem!! Also please mail in this regard in the list as this is not a personal conversation. Kushal -- http://fedoraproject.org http://kushaldas.in http://badvista.org http://noooxml.org
