Provided that the logo is being used to promote Ubuntu, it shouldn't be a problem. > 3) to use it in our logo for the local community team Using the existing logo shouldn't be a problem, as long as you don't change the logo itself. For instance, we had the circle of friends logo reshaped to fit the map of our country but this was rejected. I was told that provided the logo was unchanged, it was allowed. So you could place it on top of your map, or country flag or something like that. > 4) to create a non-profit organisation named "Ubuntu cypriot local > community" or "ubuntu cy" or something similar. > (We could get a lot of discounts concerning purchases as a registered > non-profit organization) I'm not sure about this as we haven't attempted it yet. > 5) with (4), to register and get a domain, say "ubuntu.org.cy" As far as I know, they will allow you to register one domain to be used for the promotion of Ubuntu. We were allowed to register ubuntu.org.zw. > 6) should we have a message of some sort while using the logo or "ubuntu"? > > Thanks in advance! > For all these things however, I don't think it would be wise to go further until you have the official go-ahead from the trademark people. It does take them a while to reply, but you'll just have to be patient. -- loco-contacts mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/loco-contacts
