Hi, everyone. Great news: we've qualified for a perpetual, worldwide license at no cost to use the Drupal trademark in our name.
Thus, we are authorized to use both "Transition Drupal" and "TransitionDrupal.org."
The conditions of the license are:
"The conditional use of the trademark Drupal in the title and domain name "TransitionDrupal.org" of a Drupal transition website welcoming contributions from private companies and in the name of a Drupal-fork. This use is only granted on the condition that the limited contributions made by the private companies are used for this drupal transition project."
In other words, as long as we keep the contributed code in the public domain (i.e. not charge a license for it, our commitment) we can accept contributions from both not-for-profit and private companies.
I've attached the license to this post. Please review it and send back any questions. If we can't determine the answers ourselves with our collective legal acumen, I will ask the law firm handling our request before signing it and sending it back.
-André

Beautiful
Good work Andre :)
Site development ideas?
Hi Andre,
Great news on the license!
Could we start developing a bit more the transitiondrupal.org site now? What features would that site need to support the project? You said you've done a lot with backend infrastructure so could you outline some thoughts?
thanks
paul
Infrastructure
Now that we have the name, yes we can put some energy into td.org. Also, I can apply for a project page and we can begin to use the Drupal.org infrastructure for issue management and such. Generally discussions about particular items within the project occur inside distinct issues so that everything stays nice and organized.
Or at least I think we can get a project page. I believe I've read somewhere that we have to have some code to upload before they will give us a project page. I'll look into that this week.
In the meantime, was there any other infrastructure you were thinking about?

Setup
Are we going to continue with the Unfuddle account? If so, could the project details be added to the Dev pages on td.org?
This project is likely to involve a core project that is a bit like Drupal Commons and then a number of separate modules/features that probably should be separate projects on D.O. Does that sound right? However, it would be good if td.org could contain info on all those additional Transition-related modules that can be included in the TD install profile?
W.r.t. to td.org, could it have:
A better theme.
Menu items for requirements, documentation, additional modules, getting involved, etc?
If we need to start with some code, would we structure this with a drush make file for defining all module dependencies?
think that's right
I think all that's good stuff. Re: Unfuddle I'd like David to chime in here and have already sent him a note to discuss some of these items.
I haven't checked lately if there are better themes yet for Drupal 7. Do you want to find one and install it plus make a first go at the top level menu items? I'm happy to send you the credentials so that you can start to shape the site.

Sounds good
I'd certainly be happy to start to fill out the site structure a bit more, the theme is less important initially. The structure can easily be iterated on but it would be good to build some more content to work with.
