Firstly, let's get someone to attend. Is anyone on
this list willing to be at a stand on Software Freedom Day at the CSIR in Pretoria?
I'll be there for sure, but the more the merrier.
Then, regarding the logo, let's be clear to
differentiate between Wikipedia and the Wikimedia Foundation. Wikipedia is only one
(albeit the most well known) of the projects administered by the Wikimedia Foundation. We
would be Wikimedia South Africa, with the same design as appears at
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikimedia_chapters_logos
The logo Bence proposed is at
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WikimediaZALogo.svg
I'd prefer it to read "South Africa" rather than "ZA" though -
what do others think?
I'd like the logo to be language neutral, and ZA is our country TLD.
This is similar to what Switzerland did: Their logo says Wikimedia CH.
Strictly speaking, the logos can only be used by
"approved Wikimedia Foundation partners or chapter organizations". We
haven't been approved yet, but I've emailed the provided address to ask for
permission to use the logo.
You have a good point about maybe rather attending the SFD as
Wikimedia, not just Wikipedia. Let us know what ChapCom says.
