Using the name of Tryton Foundation and logo on certificates for contributors

I moved the idea about permalinks for contributors to a different topic

But since you are the organizer of “your” event I think you can feel free, how to show your sponsors.
I don’t know if we can find a way to officially classify events as Foundation events. But in the end, each one is a support for Tryton itself.

There is a distinction between

• a Tryton Foundation event
• an event where volunteers make a contribution of code, translation or testing, this is effectively a non-monetary donation to the Tryton Foundation

The certificate is recognizing the latter: the combination of attendance + contribution

For Tryton Foundation to endorse or be a co-organizer of an event there may be some different criteria, for example, a decision by the board, minimum number of Foundation members in attendance or management of the event. Those are decisions for the Foundation.

To use the certificates, the threshold may be a lot lower: a contribution

@jgras

A small step would perhaps be to develop a kind of corporate design so that these individual events are perceived as belonging together, without immediately burdening the active community members with bureaucratic effort.

If the ongoing contributions are bigger than the bureaucratic effort then it may be worthwhile. Nonetheless, as we are all volunteers, it is up to each person to decide if they want to invest their time in bureaucratic stuff or if they just want to code.
