The purpose is to promote Linux as a whole. The goal is something like this, but simplified: http://futurist.se/gldt/

It will not be associated with any club, organization, or event, nor will any association be implied in the design or otherwise. All shirts will be sold at cost and in person. It's distribution will primarily be among friends and classmates.

With your permission, we'd like to have our college's Linux user group take care of selling them.

The ticket site says I should contact this distribution list, or the private one for more private matters. Would you prefer I open a ticket on the public list here, or the private one?

What is the process for getting a t-shirt design that uses the Fedora logo approved by the Council?

First, work with the Design team to make sure the design fits in with the brand guidelines — see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Design. Then, submit a ticket at https://fedorahosted.org/council/.

What's the purpose of the design? Do be aware that we've been pretty strict about use of Fedora trademarks for third-party merchandise in the past.

Thanks for clarifying.

I've been asked by Legal to provide a sample of that simplified design.

I — separate from the legal aspect of the trademark — have a concern that such charts can be really misleading. The http://futurist.se one certainly has some very questionable branches.
