Greetings legal@,
The Fedora cloud SIG has setup an organization called 'fedora-cloud' on GitHub for mirroring some dist-git repos in the hopes of getting more contributions. The question was asked on the cloud list (cc'ed) about whether we need to get usage approval for the Fedora name to use it in the organization name. fedora-infra has their own GitHub organization so there is at least some precedence here.
Do we need to get board approval for usage of 'fedora' in our GitHub org?
Thanks for your help.

Yes, as a general matter using 'fedora' in the name of a github organization should be approved by the Board.

Thanks for the clarification. I've filed a ticket in their trac instance (#171, although it's private).

Also the Fedora Cloud logo (as made by the Fedora Design team).
