It's been 3 weeks since the meeting now - is there any chance of getting
more information on the winning bid - ie. what will be done, by whom,
and when? As a Maemo/MeeGo guy, this is *very* interesting to me.

Thanks!
Dave.

How about Ari Jaaksi?

I suggest looking at the MariaDB trademark guidelines for a good
starting point. I especially like that they have outlined overall goals
that inform the policy (kind of like the GPL preamble) - this is the
check-list by which the trademark policy & forms' success can be measured.

Just FYI: GNOME was one of the first non-profit free software
foundations to join OIN, back in 2007-08:
http://www.openinventionnetwork.com/licensees.php

There was a press release draft at one stage, but I don't exactly recall
what happened to it. For the record, the GNOME Foundation was the first
community run organisation to join as a licensee.

Cheers,
Dave.
