I got two (maybe automated?) reminder emails, but they were sent to me pers=
onally, and not to the PMC.  I will forward them to the PMC.

I'm personally fine with Lucene/Solr not putting TMs on logos.  But I think=
 we should have a record of voting on this.  I'll start a thread on dev@l.a=
.o.

Is the PMC no longer getting automated emails informing us of hte=20

you can have trademark a logo w/cluttering that logo by putting "TM" in it=
