That was *absolutely not* what was answered. I re-quote my answer from before: ====== * Everyone is allowed (and encouraged!) to create and promote events around Apache Pulsar (following the ASF guidelines on trademarks) * Using "Apache Pulsar Community" as the organizer is a mischaracterization, since that effort is not coming from the Pulsar PMC * These events should be renamed to something that makes it absolutely clear this is not from Pulsar PMC ====== > is allowed to do this either", especially when there are people > volunteering to take on the effort. Volunteering to take on the effort doesn't give the right to start acting on behalf of the PMC.
