[microprofile-wg] [VOTE] "Self-Service" MicroProfile Shirts
|
Folks,
As you are aware, there are members that would like to print
MicroProfile branded shirts with their own budget. Such shirts still
need to respect corporate brands that are carefully regulated.
Furthermore, the Eclipse Foundation has been very clear about it's
guidelines in not permitting swag with both the MicroProfile logo and
corporate logos, whomever prints such swag. For the Foundation, this is
violation of trademark terms.
The proposed solution is to have an approved design that allows for
"self-service" MicroProfile shirts that work within these reasonable and
pragmatic constraints. I've outlined the solution in the attached
abstract mock-up. We can print a nice large MicroProfile logo in the
front of the shirt and clearly list working group member names in the
back with dates without using any logos. The Eclipse Foundation logo
will be on the sleeve. The approved design will be made available on a
self-service website like Zazzle, etc for anyone to "buy" a shirt.
It is advisable that all MicroProfile members run this solution by their
marketing, branding, and legal teams before casting a formal vote. Note
that the final design will be sent to the Foundation for review and
approval prior to making it available for production.
A steering committee representatives vote is requested on this matter.
Please respond with +1 (positive), 0 (abstain), or -1 (reject). Any
feedback that you can provide to support your vote will be appreciated.
This vote will be open for seven days, so it will end on May 23rd, 2023.
The approval of the proposal requires a super-majority positive vote of
steering committee members. There is no veto. Community input and votes
are welcome. However, only the votes delivered by steering committee
representatives will be counted.
Thanks,
Reza
