Ad Bard

  • Background
    • Ad Bard is a FSF-endorsed advertising provider
    • Ad Bard is providing a free advertisement for Fedora as a trial
    • Rotating ad banners pointing to Fedora will run on other sites
  • Josh Boyer provided an update
    • Text for the ad and landing URL has been communicated to Ad Bard
  • Advertisement will run in February
  • Fedora web sites do not carry ads by Ad Bard or anyone else. The Board could revisit this in the future if needs dictate.
  • NEXT ACTION:

Spin approvals

  • Background: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Spins_Process
    • Board is responsible for approving trademark use for all new spins
  • Colin raises question of need for every spin to create their own ISOs, vs some spins that could suffice with a package group.
  • Paul notes thread continues on advisory-board@lists.fedoraproject.org
  • Fedora should not seek out "special dispensation" to use the trademarks of others, outside the scope of the standard trademark agreements open to everyone as this could affect downstream reuse
