<pre wrap="">Except for pointing out the use of Drupal in hotdrupal, it's not our
job to follow up on the trademark issue. I'm sure that Dries or his
lawyers will be able to work out a solution with Steve.
Steve doesn't need any "old school" cred: we've been working with
Steve's company for some time now, and I haven't had anything to
complain about. To the contrary: they have always been extremely
responsive those rare times something comes up. I'm sure there's a lot
of other people out there with similar experiences.
As a project manager, his experience is relevant, even if technologies
changed. So I think your comment Darrel, even if it's meant playful,
is misplaced.

all right mr antique... just go play with your little friends archie and
vanessa and their pet gopher. Next thing I know you'll be singing the
praises of VMS and the wonders of VAX and all it's fun instructions. You
can sit in the closet or anchor a boat like my old 3B2's. Really, who cares
about that kind of old school cred. It's very different from current
technology and isn't really useful knowledge about you or your company.
Unless I'm looking for someone to make my new website render properly in
mosaic 0.3.

<pre wrap="">No, but we did register our domain and started preparing things about the
same time
the trademark thing was coming up. Before we actively started using the
name I
contacted Dries and let him know what was going on and asked him what to
do.
So yes, we made sure that Dries was aware of us (and got a response from
him)
before we sold our first account. This was not done as a result of anyone
saying
anything to us, we just noticed the trademark notice pop onto the Drupal
site one
day and said "Hey, we better talk to Dries first because it's the Right
Thing
to do"
Dries responded and told us not to worry about it. Since then as a company
we have
sponsored the Drupal LA group (not this year, low funds) and one DrupalCon
(DC)
with plans to also sponsor the next US DrupalCon.

I've been doing telecommunication stuff since the early/mid 1980's,
working on
the Internet since 1986, and doing consulting for companies/systems
designed to
do web hosting since the NCSA Mosaic days. Before that, if you remember
WAIS
(wikipedia it,/ Wide Area Information Servers)
I wonder if anyone here remembers running Mosaic on a Commodore Amiga :)
