Hi, tison I love this idea. The OpenDAL PMC dedicated a lot of time to ensuring that trademarks and branding were better managed, and it's a bit disheartening to see other incubating projects not learning from the mistakes OpenDAL has made.
I believe incorporating trademarks and branding will better educate the future PPMC members of incubating projects on how to protect them and, more importantly, why it is essential to take care of them.
