Crap, forgot to send it to -project as well.

The dinner plans are still on, but not at the location as described earlier.
We will gather saturday and then do a quick search for a proper location.
The suggestion I made was somewhat on the higher price-range, my apoligies
for that.

Keep the list in your eye-sight (or attach yourself to some Gentoo devs in
FOSDEM saturday late afternoon) for final details.

Wkr,

I will have the last talk on Saturday in the cross distro devroom. Show
up there and let's finalize the plans at the end of the session.

I'd like to discuss the recently received email on "official permission
to promote Gentoo on Facebook as Gentoo Linux Poland group", and in
particular whether this is something for the Council, or for the
trustees instead.

I recall something about the use of Gentoo, it's logo, etc., but can't
find it.  I would like to focus the discussion on the sub-question
raised in the email, if and how we (Council) can support initiatives to
promote Gentoo.

Well, use of the Gentoo name and logo are definite Trustee issues (if
anybody wants an exception to the policies the trustees have to grant
it).  However, I'm sure we're all interested in cooperating with the
Council on any suggestions they have/etc.

Right now there is a page regarding use of the Gentoo name and logo:
http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/name-logo.xml

We're actually in the process of updating the policy - not so much to
change it as to deal with a bunch of questions that keep coming up
regarding copyright/trademark/etc so that we have a single
comprehensive license - I'll be aiming to post a draft on the -project
or -nfp lists in the next week or so for comment.

So, speaking only for myself I think it is a good idea to support
local Gentoo efforts around the world, provided that these efforts
have some kind of association with and accountability to the project
as a whole.  Things like links on the g.o website and official
recognition via use of the name/logo are easy things to provide.  I'm

I am sure there are many Gentoo "Friends" websites out there and I
don't think all of them ever asked us to do it. I don't think it is a
problem for us to solve as it is impossible ( and clearly undesirable
) to manage these sites separately. However, we need to protect
Gentoo's name in case we spot a bad PR from a so-called Official
Gentoo website out there :)

Shouldn't PR be part of this discussion as well? I'd say it is
actually their job. Council's role is mainly technical directions in
Gentoo and PR is not our responsibility or area of expertise I must say.

As Rich answered, it's a Trustees thing.

You hit the nail on its head.  Can the Council think of any technical
issues/solutions that can help to disseminate.  Further, I think we
should delegate the original mail to the Trustees and PR, or proxy for
them.

Thanks Sven for "organizing" this dinner, it was a great moment with
smart people :)

Toutou liked it also (see attached picture), BTW if any of you took
some picture of him, he'd greatly appreciate if you could send them to
me :)

Best regards,

*.overlays.gentoo.org gets a new home

Hello everybody,

while overlays.gentoo.org was down today/yesterday we decided to give it a new
home.
Interestring for you, the new server will be more powerful, it is also located
in the EU.

The migration will begin around 4-5PM, today Wed Feb 8 2012 UTC.
The expected downtime is around 2-3 hours but it *may* take up to 24 hours
because of the DNS change.
We will try to keep read-only access up as long as possible.
That means git:// and svn:// may be available all the time.
