With reference to the Podling Branding Guide [1] , the requirement is that the product be called "Apache OpenOffice". That is the name. Nothing else. But we're also required to "mention that the project is under Incubation". There is more than one way of doing that. Also, "These statements only need to be disclosed upon the first reference in a document." IMHO, we've done that for the blog posts as hosted on ASF servers. But it is not clear if or how we control other parties tweeting links. But I assume if someone feels strongly about controlling things at that level they will propose a way.

I could be wrong, but my impression was he approved as well. The PPMC does not control the Apache.org home page. If the ASF decides to aggregate posts from the committers planet, then maybe that should come with a disclaimer? Or bring in just the project blogs, not the committer blogs? I could be talking about anything on my blog: OpenOffice, beer. satantic rituals, bagpipes, perhaps all at once. It probably should not automatically all be promoted to the ASF home page. As for the project blogs, maybe we should just enhance the aggregator logic on the ASF home page? For example, Google+ gets does it well, pulling in the blog title along with the post title. Se here: https://plus.google.com/u/0/114598373874764163668/posts/ZiRcwog5cDJ . If you try to fix it in the content itself, then you end up with suboptimal results for Google+ and other places that do bring the blog title along, ending up with something like "5 Million Downloads of Apache OpenOffice (incubating) : Apache OpenOffice (incubating)" which looks sloppy. -Rob > //drew > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
