I'm only going to send one email about this, If anyone else cares they can push it.

This is news:
> <a href="http://www.twitter.com/apache_ofbiz/" target="_blank">Now OFBiz on <b>TWITTER</b>, follow the news from an enduser perspective</a>, up to one tweet per day.
A link to your home page is not:
> You can also promote OFBiz at your site with this news, look <a href="http://www.antwebsystems.com">here for an example.</a>

Why you are constantly trying to push the boundaries I have no idea.

Scott

In reply to this post by Scott Gray-2
Hans, please revert this one too - sorry.  It wouldn't make sense for  
all service providers to do this - so please let's not keep doing this  
stuff.

What i would recommend for this kind of stuff, if we need to list it  
at all, would be to enhance the service providers page on the wiki. I  
mentioned this earlier but maybe we should add a full page, linked  
from the service provider page, where people can put this type of  
info?  I personally think this is what your own website is for, but  
I'm all for enhancing everyone's ability to get the word out.

What does everyone think of that as a place to promote yourself?

Cheers,
Ruppert

Re: svn commit: r919905 - /ofbiz/site/index.html

Hey guys,

This could be so easy :/

Hans agreed to give the credentials to all commiters but he asked us to send him a demand.
We don't need to ask, if it's open Hans sould send all commiters the credential to share apache_ofbiz Twitter account.
I should be pretty clear at this moment. The works "Apache" "OFBiz" and the phrase "Apache OFBiz" are ASF trademarks:
http://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/ (I use references to sections of this page in the following)
So they can't be used in domain name (cf. section "Using Apache trademarks in domain names"). Hans can't use
http://twitter.com/apache_ofbiz alone as an individual or for his company.
So please, for the last time, Hans before I ring Shane Curcuru's bell (current VP, Apache Brand Management), simply send credentials
to all commiters and the war is over (Note that, though I don't think it's the way to go, I already asked you to send me credentials
as you suggested, but did not receive anything yet). Then I suggest to put the button like you did Hans. It's a *great idea* and I'm
sure you will appreciate to have an help on feeding the tweets as you already suggested.

http://twitter.com/apache_ofbiz is a special case because not only it uses ASF trademark in domain name but it also shows it on the
page, along with OFBiz logo not going back to http://ofbiz.apache.org/ (cf. section "Using the Apache Foo (and similar) graphic
logos")
But I don't see a reason why the rule for the domain should not apply also to
http://twitter.com/ofbiz_help
http://twitter.com/ofbizbyhotwax
And Hans just followed the path actually... (is there other cases?)

Some other points which are related and worth to be noted
Hotwax Media must care about how they use the OFBiz logo in their pages at http://www.hotwaxmedia.com. The rule is that if it's not
adapted (like Hans did for OFBiz in Thailand at , it should only link back to http://ofbiz.apache.org/
Same for the footer of http://www.antwebsystems.com/control/main (the "OFBiz feather" used for the tweet could be ok if all
commiters get credentials and the PMC agree is the OFBiz official Tweeter account). Now http://www.ofbiz.in.th/ is wrong also as
long it's not on the ASF infra (ofbiz should not be used in domain name outsided of ASF infrastructure, is there other cases?)

It's time to clean the house, before all this becomes unmanageable (proliferation). I made my best to explain the rules, if you see
a flaw in my reasoning please correct me. If you see other cases that should be corrected, chime in, it's your duty!

And please also understand that it's really not pleaseant for me (or anyone else I guess) to play the cop and spend so much time on
this (for persons out of PMC, we already shared some about this privately). I dot it only because I'm a third party (ie not HWM
affiliated nor Ant Web) and I like things to be clear and no injustices prevail. If we continue to ignore this facts they will
finally blow up in our faces (as this Tweeter account issue being to show) and nobody will win anything. There are rules, why not
simply follow them, is that so hard?

Jacques

Also I wonder if we should not restrict the New section at http://ofbiz.apache.org/ to real news and not service providers
marketing.
Because this is really devaluating the news IMO. We could though introduce a new section for this kind of "news", what about
"Services providers help you"

Re: svn commit: r919905 - /ofbiz/site/index.html

Jacques Le Roux

Hi Jacopo,

For me all the "news" from service providers are not real news because
1) there is nothing new in them
2) they are not external to the project, so I think they devaluate the other news (how insiders can be objective?)
3) some service providers may trust this place as an area for their marketing stuff (do you really need names?)

They looks more as marketing stuff to me .
On the other hand most of them contain valuable information, notably for educating new comers and such.
So that's why I suggest to separate them from "real news" (external objective news) in a new section "Help from service providers"

In reply to this post by Jacques Le Roux
Jacques, you are mis-interpreting the contents of that ASF document and I really would prefer it if you kept your thoughts to the private list.  This way we can correct you before you start scaring people away from marketing the project for us.

Thank you
Scott

Re: svn commit: r919905 - /ofbiz/site/index.html

Tim Ruppert
In reply to this post by Jacques Le Roux
It IS news when there is a new tutorial out there.  It is not news when you are doing marketing.  That sounds like a reasonable place to draw the line.  For instance, I don't put my blog messages up there when they're not going to directly help users - just like Wikipedia, only the facts.  We haven't put up one message about any of our twitter feeds, social networking angles, new websites, all promotion stuff.  What Hans put in there is straight up promotion.

Now back to my original request before we've now tried a bunch of different ways to self promote:

1. Remove the original commit
- Hans did this on the first one and I think needs to do this again.
2. Work out a strategy, together, on first IF the community wants to maintain a twitter feed, and secondly how we'll go about distributing the load so that this isn't some burden.
- First IF - then HOW.
- This should be easy as Jacques said
-- All ocmmitters have access
-- There is discussion around what information goes in there.
-- The Bio and information about it show it only as a community effort.

Please note that in 919997 I have removed a link to a blog message that sat directly on the line between marketing and help for the user.  This will hopefully set a trend of the types of news that we populate that section with.

Cheers,
Ruppert

Scott,

Could you explain which part(s) I'm mis-interpreting and what is irrelevant in my message?

Jacques

From: "Scott Gray" <[hidden email]>
Jacques, you are mis-interpreting the contents of that ASF document and I really would prefer it if you kept your thoughts to the
private list.  This way we can correct you before you start scaring people away from marketing the project for us.

Thank you
Scott

I'm alone to be worried when in the last 12 news, 8 come from HotWax Media? Should this continue in the same way, in the same place?

I don't think it's needed if Hans give all commiters the credentials. Then we could put back the Twetter button which is think is a
great idea.

I don't think we need to share before as long as we keep it clean. Note that what Hans did so far was quite clean. It was not a
problem about the content but, I repeat:
* ASF trademark in domain name
* ASF trademark on account page (name + logo)
without being endorsed by the community and validated by PMC

Yes, this is not yet clean either

I appreciate the effort Tim, and I agree with the logic behind it. But what if everybody wrote a note in his blog and put a line
there? Would it be a news war, as we have a commits war currently :/
Are these essentials news? Should we not create a section for this type of information as I suggested (the name may vary)?

I try to find a good solution, thanks for your help

>> I should be pretty clear at this moment. The works "Apache" "OFBiz" and the phrase "Apache OFBiz" are ASF trademarks: http://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/ (I use references to sections of this page in the following)
>> So they can't be used in domain name (cf. section "Using Apache trademarks in domain names"). Hans can't use http://twitter.com/apache_ofbiz alone as an individual or for his company.

This is a domain name: twitter.com
This is a URL: twitter.com/apache_ofbiz

So the first half of your message is completely invalid and threatening to contact higher level ASF admins before discussing it on the private list is bad form IMO.

Secondly, use of the OFBiz name and logo on service provider websites absolutely falls within the realm of nominative fair use IMO.  How are you supposed to offer development and support services for OFBiz if you cannot mention the name OFBiz and display the logo?  The fact that some logo uses do not link back to the project is a minor issue and can easily be rectified without scaremongering by sending a polite message directly to the service provider in question.

Let's be clear, we want people to market OFBiz for us because we do not have the resources to do an adequate job of it ourselves.  The thing that I think we should be most concerned about and actively "police" is what is written at the bottom of the ASF guideline document:
"Nothing in this ASF policy statement shall be interpreted to allow any third party to claim any association with the Apache Software Foundation or any of its projects or to imply any approval or support by ASF for any third party products or services."

We should be encouraging people to market OFBiz and instead of sending out threatening emails.

And lastly, haven't there been enough arguments on the dev list for one week?  Do you really need to spark another one right now?  Constant bickering just makes us all look bad.

Scott

I don't think that we should be in trouble for being the only ones who are blogging relevant tutorials and help in the community.  Should we stop doing that because no one else does?  Are people enjoying it - judging from the responses, I would say hell yeah.

I have no problem moving this stuff to another place - none at all - but since there isn't much news beyond tutorials that are put out there, it certainly would make our "In the News" section look super stale - which would work against us.  My vote is to leave it as is - but add some sort of self promotion area if people can't do that on their own site after people hit their link in the Service Providers section.

Regardless, this isn't news Jacques unless it's something that the PMC has added as something we want to support.  It still looks like it's project based - but UNTIL that is the case, then we should remove it and add it back when it is vetted.

Agreed.  But IMO all of this needs to be cleaned up before it sits on the home page as something that the project is endorsing.

The more news the better.  I don't believe we should let people throw up all of their marketing material, but tutorials and real wire based news seemed to always fit in here.

> Are these essentials news? Should we not create a section for this type of information as I suggested (the name may vary)?

As I said above, and in another email, I think that self promotion should be kept off of our home page - this is about the project and not about even the people working on the project.  We have links to service provider pages, that's a great place to put your own self promotion about your new websites, your new clients, your new twitter feeds, etc.  I don't care where we put the tutorials that you think are deluging the News section - I vote for News because there IS NO other news out there at the moment and this keeps the content of our pages changing.  Again, you will see no self promotion in our tutorials - they are only to help (but they do reside on our servers :) ).

This is all good, and as I said of great value. It's the only the place that worries me. I prefer to have less news but more
credible as news (from outside) and not so repetitive.

As I said I feel otherwise. Of course if I'm alone it's maybe only a feeling and we can forget that. But will we not end with almost
only news from HWM, for the moment it looks like that...

You mean Hans's last news, right? Then I agree, still some problems where the link points

I'd prefer them to be in the wiki for instance. We could share them more there. We could have an open section in wiki with
"Tutorials" link pointing to it at top of the site main page.

A better proposition, as I suggested in an answer to Tim, would be to use a section in the wiki and a "Tutorials" top link from
OFBiz site main page. So we would have all the tutorials there and at term a better consistency.

Yes I was wrong on that one, so I can see no problems with http://twitter.com/ofbizbyhotwax or http://twitter.com/ofbiz_help and I'm
happy with that.

>So the first half of your message is completely invalid and threatening to contact higher level ASF admins before discussing it on
>the private list is bad form IMO.

Not completly, some arguments still stand and it would have been easier if you have kept them in your answer. Notably the name+logo
on http://twitter.com/apache_ofbiz which was the main reason I wrote this message. I must say that in an effort to not put all on
this Tweeter account I thought about this wrong domain idea.

>Secondly, use of the OFBiz name and logo on service provider websites absolutely falls within the realm of nominative fair use IMO.
>How are you supposed to offer development and support services for OFBiz if you cannot mention the name OFBiz and display the logo?

Yes in most cases it's fair and I did not reproach anything else about that than on http://twitter.com/apache_ofbiz

>The fact that some logo uses do not link back to the project is a minor issue and can easily be rectified without scaremongering by
>sending a polite message directly to the service provider in question.

If people are aware of it, why they did not do it then? This was the reason of my message. When you want justice, you can't hide
facts, even minor ones.

>Let's be clear, we want people to market OFBiz for us because we do not have the resources to do an adequate job of it ourselves.
>The thing that I think we should be most concerned about and actively "police" is what is written at the bottom of the ASF
>guideline document:
"Nothing in this ASF policy statement shall be interpreted to allow any third party to claim any association with the Apache
Software Foundation or any of its projects or to imply any approval or support by ASF for any third party products or services."

Yes that's the point, I totally agree

>We should be encouraging people to market OFBiz and instead of sending out threatening emails.

If things are clean and follow the rule it's fine with me

>And lastly, haven't there been enough arguments on the dev list for one week?  Do you really need to spark another one right now?
>Constant bickering just makes us all look bad.

Bickering is a new word for me, thanks for that. I don't care about lookin "bad", I just want justice.

Hi Scott:
What private list? I thought this was a transparent process that
everyone should have access to.
BTW, you guys are a real "hoot". I'm enjoying every bit of this thread.

A small detail here:

1. http://twitter.com/apache_ofbiz is not a "domain name" it is a "URL"
2. a domain name is one part of a URL
3. in this case the domain name part of the URL is just "twitter.com"

that must be for all the stuff that gets in with  no
                 discussion on this list, is done.
also I doubt new developers read this list since most post on the  user
list.
lastly I don't think what jacques is saying is something  that should
not the said out in the open.
