Brian,

The Galileo branding question is a good one. I’ve cc’d the cross-project
list so that others can benefit from the answer.
 
Please see the Galileo Requirements[1],
and the bug[2] that drove the idea.
 
There is a “must do” which
states:
 
Each major project (as determined
by participating PMCs) should have an About dialog icon with descriptive
text (e.g. provider name
= "Eclipse Modeling Project" and not simply Eclipse.org) and
contribute to the welcome page.
 
It is important that the
provider name start with “Eclipse”. E.g. “Eclipse Data Tools Platform
Project”
 
Does this answer the question?

Subject: Question about DTP branding in Galileo
 

Hi there... 

John Graham mentioned we should check with you guys about the Branding
requirement in Galileo. It states that we're supposed to change the provider
name from Eclipse.org to something more specific, like "Data Tools
Platform" in our case. 

Is this truly the case? John wondered if this was a change in Eclipse Foundation
policy? 

Thanks

Really? If so, then that is a change in Eclipse Foundation policy. I'd
check with license@xxxxxxxxxxx first.

I believe the only thing we need is a distinct icon.
