Yeah. How =91bout a half step further: web form with fields for person=92s =
name, company, email, description, and image upload. CGI emails it to appro=
priate lists, we discuss and get back to requestor with yes/no.

And Karen does this a lot: I remember the guys at Ikoula

At the moment, the TM guide says this for non-software:

=95 Without explicit written permission, goods bearing any of the CloudStac=
k marks may not be sold.
=95 Designs for non-software goods require both PMC approval and approval f=
rom trademarks@apache.org<mailto:trademarks@apache.org>.

I would love to see that changed to:
If you wish to use the CloudStack mark on any non-software goods (maybe tee=
 shirts for a conference or some marketing collateral) we=92d love to see y=
ou do that. Please email private@cs.a.o<mailto:private@cs.a.o>  with artwor=
k or a descrition and we=92ll come back to you with approval within 5 days.=
 You must not print until we have approval blah blah

The  PMC then can discuss internally if required (vote if required) and sen=
d a mail of to Shane and get back to requestor with a simple yes/no


Kind Regards
