Deedra, |
| 2 |
Could you check with our lawyers what it is that we actually need to |
| 3 |
do to protect the Gentoo® trademark? One question is do we need to add |
| 4 |
the ® mark to all of our ebuilds in our Copyright statement? The other |
| 5 |
(at least at the moment) is if there are things that we have to be |
| 6 |
careful not to refer to as "Gentoo foo"? Presumably Gentoo Linux, |
| 7 |
Gentoo BSD, etcetera should be reasonable, but what about "the Gentoo |
| 8 |
init/runscripts system"? |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
Also, where are we on the copyright issue? Last I heard there was a |
| 11 |
tentative document being put forward, and I suggested that we make it |
| 12 |
available for comments from our devs, but I believe that it was not yet |
| 13 |
ready for public scrutiny at that time. Has anything changed there? |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Dostrow, any results from sifting through the various Delaware holding |
| 16 |
companies (or whatever those organizations are called that can act as an |
| 17 |
in-state presence for a corporation)? |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Am I currently holding things up where shifting our banking to BofA is |
| 20 |
concerned? If so, please let me know, and I'll do my best to get that |
| 21 |
fixed. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
We just received our first $500 check, by the way. I haven't sent it |
| 24 |
off to Netbank yet, but I'll get that done shortly. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
We're currently running with the "proposed bylaws", but they've never |
| 27 |
been confirmed. Do we want a general, foundation-wide vote on accepting |
| 28 |
them? If so, does anybody want to propose changes first? |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Okay, that's my thoughts for the day. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Best, |
| 33 |
