We joined Conservancy earlier, primarily so that we have a legal entity that can receive and pool the GSoC mentor stipend, and because we are now one of Conservancy's projects, it was understandable that they were approached for this request. However, while we've been using the logo created by Jason Long as our de facto logo (and git-scm.com as the de facto Git home page), we've yet to formally adopt Jason's logo (or any logo) as an "official" Git logo [*1*]. So, to clarify things -- and to make it easier to respond to requests re: our logo in the future, we (myself, Peff and Shawn, the troika who represent the Git community to Conservancy) propose the following to the community members: - To officially adopt "git-scm.com " (and "git-scm.org ") as our "project home page"; and - To officially adopt the logo that appears on the "project home page" as our "project logo". We hope that neither is controversial, as these have long been used to represent our project without any formal declaration of them being official, and this proposal is to ask the community members to acknowledge the status quo ex post facto [*2*]. Seconds? [Footnotes] *1* We already got an OK from Jason for use of the logo as an official project logo. *2* This doesn't imply any change in how things are run day-to-day. The source changes are discussed on this list, and updated codebase will be pushed to the usual repositories including git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git/. Scott Chacon will continue to maintain the git-scm.com site, as he always has done, and if you have suggestions or fixes for the site, you can send pull requests.
