Considering this and the Board discussion mentioned in this thread I think changing the language would work, and also using a nofollow attribute on the link to GitHub. I suggest: a) Changing the language of such banners to "Pull Requests Welcome" (because "forking" can be misunderstood and due to our fierce corporate independence principle) b) Asking our projects to add a "rel=nofollow" attribute on the link to GitHub c) Asking our projects to make sure the README of their repositories points to their .apache.org URL I think this information belongs to https://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/pmcs as that's where projects find the ASF requirements for their websites - this one is not strictly about branding but it's good to have all this info in one place. If we agree on this I suggest that we propose a patch for that page to trademarks@ -Bertrand - To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org

Sounds good to me. If there’s agreement on this, I’d suggest someone come up with some CSS which can be popped into project sites similar to what GitHub offers for their banners. (I’m not very good at CSS myself…) ;-) Harbs > On Mar 31, 2020, at 11:20 AM, Bertrand Delacretaz > wrote: > > On Fri, Mar 27, 2020 at 10:27 AM Harbs wrote: >> ...The compromise which seemed acceptable to most in that thread seems to be >> to remove “GitHub” from the link... > > On Fri, Mar 27, 2020 at 3:46 PM John D.

There's probably a designer who can make this into a feather or a octofeather... http://tholman.com/github-corners/ Martijn On Tue, Mar 31, 2020 at 12:05 PM Harbs wrote: > Sounds good to me. > > If there’s agreement on this, I’d suggest someone come up with some CSS > which can be popped into project sites similar to what GitHub offers for > their banners.
