Linking to OSGeo
Thanks for your support -- of course you may link to OSGeo. Please make sure that you read our Trademark FAQ and feel free to ask whenever you are unsure. It is standard pratice to not download the logo but link it from the originating website (link forthcoming). This will give OSGeo some feedback on where the logo appears. In the meantime feel free to use a copy pf the Logo. As soon as we have a fixed place to link the logo from the OSGeo domain we will edit the below script to reflect the new URL.
Sample script how to link to the OSGeo logo:

Proposed Use of the Logo
[LOGO + Member]
is good for the 45 to be members to put on the business card.
[LOGO + Associate Member]
This category would fit for all those left out of the initial 45 voting members. Pay 20 bucks and get the sticker?
[LOGO + BoD Member]
is good for the 9 to be board of director members to put on the business card. I have been practicing this for two years now and people like it. On one side of my business card it says "Company CCGIS, Arnulf Christl CKO" and on the flip side it says "Mapbender - Free Software". Or vice versa, CCGIS is on the flip side, depending on who I am talking to...
[LOGO + Sponsor]
is good for companies, organisations, individuals who at some place have put money into OSGeo or otherwise contributed 'notably'. The term 'notably' would have to be defined. Does it time out after 12 months if sponsoring is not renewed? Who is going to control this? On the other hand, why not have people do some advertising for us even though they didn't contribute major? Its a tightrope walk. During the boot process we would want to have as many multipliers as possible, as long as everybody else has more outreach than OSGeo. Later on we might want to have this turned around because then OSGeo visibility will add to the visbility of contributors or sponsors.
[LOGO + Contributor]
Later maybe add, to differentiate and make it a Sponsor only when more than 10K or something.
[LOGO + Core Project]
To be linked with the download package. This would apply to adopted projects that have run through incubation successfully.
