approved all-white logos for the black background, I think it looks pretty
good (preview here

I've had a few ideas for how that can be a bit better, and the attached
screenshot shows that idea. The new Affiliations link would go to a page
that explains the relationship with each affiliate.
What do you think? Comments welcome here or in pull request #186

Hey all:
Our project has long-standing affiliations with several organizations,
with Red Hat being the most prominent. We are also an OpenInfra Labs
<
https://openinfralabs.org> project and a part of the MOC-Alliance
<
https://massopen.cloud/>, but we don't have any content or affiliation
links to those organizations on our website.
This thread is about fixing that problem, and doing it this week for a
timely need I just became aware of. Read on for details.
If you want to participate in the detailed discussion of how and where we
show these affiliations, that is happening in this pull request (PR):
https://github.com/operate-first/operate-first.github.io/pull/186
You may leave a comment with your impressions, ideas, questions, concerns,
and so on; doing so requires being logged into a GitHub user account. If
you have any questions about this process and how to do anything, feel free
to email me, or find me on the Operate First Slack
<
https://join.slack.com/t/operatefirst/shared_invite/zt-o2gn4wn8-O39g7sthT...
if that is easier for you.
We want to make these changes to reflect our long-standing affiliations,
and I want to make sure you all know about and understand these
affiliations, and have a chance to raise any questions or concerns before
the change goes live.
There is a publication going out Very Soon (Red Hat Research Quarterly)
that will have a reference to Operate First in the context of the
MOC-Alliance. We need to have the visible affiliation live by then. By
visible, the current idea is to have it in the footer of the website on
level with the Red Hat logo.
Here is the process for the next few days to get this live in time:
1. Discuss the addition in the PR #186
<
https://github.com/operate-first/operate-first.github.io/pull/186>,
raise anything needing wider community input here on this list.
2. Remind this list about the discussion in the pull request as it
progresses and comes to a close.
- This may be a non-controversial addition, but we need to have the
chance to have this discussion and make sure there are no blockers (-1) to
address.
- As always, if there are blockers, we will work diligently as a
community to resolve them in a timely way.
3. Go live with changes by the end of this week.
- Coincides with incoming attention from MOC-Alliance and OpenInfra
Foundation publicity efforts.
So far I see these as possible questions folks might care about:
- Should we change the way the Red Hat logo appears?
- Such as grouping all the logos together and removing the
"possession of Red Hat" language?
- Making the logos all the same size implies this is more than a
Red Hat project, which is an explicit goal.
- We need better artwork for both logos, we are working on that.
- We should likely write an affiliate page, with sections about each
affiliation. For example, while an OS-Climate logo doesn't belong in the
footer of the website, it would belong on an "Affiliated Communities and
Organizations" page.
That's what I've got!
Kind regards,
- Karsten
