I'm not sure how we can do something like this with the CentOS organisation, but I think we should. I'm interested to provide CentOS professional services (like I'm currently providing Red Hat services). Is there a trademark ? What are the conditions to use it ? How would licenses be transformed into donations ? Is there a transparency regarding donations/sponsorship ? What do we need to allow 3rd parties to provide services around CentOS ? Maybe another mailinglist ? Kind regards, -- dag wieers, dag at wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [all I want is a warm bed and a kind word and unlimited power]
