Hi all, |

My apologies that this took this long; blame the annoying gnat that's |

lurking behind you... |

Gentoo Foundation - Status Update |
| 8 |
==================+-------------- |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
1. Gentoo name and G logo |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Chien Colleen, the Foundation's attorney, will look into the trademark |
| 13 |
registration of the Gentoo name and the G logo. Once established (and |
| 14 |
transferred from Gentoo Technologies Inc.), the Gentoo Foundation will |
| 15 |
put out guidelines on the use of the name and logo of which a draft is |
| 16 |
available at |
| 17 |
http://dev.gentoo.org/~swift/name_logo.html |

2. Bank Account |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Grant is working on the NetBank account for the Gentoo Foundation. Once an |
| 22 |
account is established (which, considering the |
| 23 |
we-are-no-501.3(c)6-yet-but-we-are-working-on-it status, is a bit more work |
| 24 |
than usual) a PayPal account will be created. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
3. Copyright assignment |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
After a conference call with Chien Colleen we are still investigating wether |
| 29 |
or not it is feasible to ask for copyright assignment of Gentoo-related |
| 30 |
material in order to protect us from possible license infringements. Chien |
| 31 |
will now be working on a Copyright Assignment Document that covers our needs |
| 32 |
without putting any demands on our contributors rights. |

4. Donations |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
Daniel Robbins has informed us that the Gentoo Store will keep the donations |
| 40 |
separately until the Foundation has a bank account, on which he'll then |
| 41 |
transfer the donations to. |
