[Evergreen-governance-l] propose new footers on EG websites

[Lori Bowen Ayre]

I'd like to propose that the current footer on the evergreen-ils site be
changed from:



© 2008-2011 GPLS <http://www.georgialibraries.org/> and others | Partially
funded by the Library Services & Technology Act through the Institute of
Museum and Library Services.

to

to



© 2008-2011 GPLS and others.  Evergreen is open source software,
freely licensed under GNU GPLv2.  The Evergreen Project is a member of the
Software Freedom Conservancy.



with a link from "GNU GPLv 2" to http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html

and "member of" links to http://evergreen-ils.org/blog/?p=583

and "Software Freedom Conservancy" links to http://sfconservancy.org/





Second, I’d like to propose that this new footer be added to the wiki and
blog.

Hi All,



I attended the EG Oversight Board mtg this morning and we talked about
things like footers and attribution statements that should be used now that
we are officially a member of the Software Freedom Conservancy.



What I think we should do is propose some guidelines for language people
should use on the evergreen-ils website pages as well as in the OPAC or
wherever else Evergreen is running and info about Evergreen licensing can be
included.



An appropriate variation for Evergreen might look like this:

© 2008-2011 GPLS <http://www.georgialibraries.org/> and others | Partially
funded by the Library Services & Technology Act through the Institute of
Museum and Library Services.

I suggest this is a discussion starter.  I've invited Dan Scott in on this
thread too.  Comments?
