Re: Agenda for board meeting on July 7th

My other 2 cents:

The license we've chosen clearly allows people to sell products with the code included, so I'm assuming this is strictly a trademark issues. As far as I can tell this is about figuring out if this is a scam (which could hurt the GNOME brand) or just a bunch of enthusiastic youngsters giving things a try.

It'd be really sad if we enforced the trademark and then turned out that it was just the latter case. I'd suggest we approach them and tried to study the situation.

Apart from the massive annoying marketing speech in the kickstarter, 
what's the exact purpose of this point?

No particular purpose other than to bring it up for discussion in the meeting and simultaneously bring its existence to the attention of foundation members if they wanted to comment on it. For the record, this did not actually end up being discussed in the meeting, as we were already running half an hour overtime.

My 2¢ on the matter: it seems just a little fishy for this thing to show up out of blue and try to raise 150K, with no visible community around the "product", no downloads (and no source code provided?) to verify its existence, and a claim to support Windows and Android applications in the "StratOS Pro" version. So I was wondering if anyone had heard of them before.
