To be a little more exact, the ad agency contacted us about using the logo for the ad. We all discussed it in the office, and agreed that there should be some compensation. I asked, and they agreed. Nothing too spectacular.

Yup, Danny Wool negotiated with Cisco to use Wikipedia in the commercial.
If I remember Danny correctly, he said he got the Foundation a nice sum of moolah for it.

I jsut saw a television commercial on the SciFi where CISCO shows a 3 second spot with a laptop computer using Wikipedia. The commercial aired at 7:33 p.m. Mountain Standard Time. There were no screen shots of Windows or any other computer software on the commercial apart from Wikipedia's logo. The laptop appeared to be a MAC but I am not certain.

This has been a test of the emergency wikipedia logo electronic transmission usage and detection subsystem, powered by MediaWiki 1.8.2 and Merkey's eyeballs. This has only been a test.

Could you message this list in the future to tell us what has been decided in terms of this kind of thing? It was the right decision, IMO, but it would be good to have the transparency and community involvement.

Decisions would been needed at a reasonable rate and trademarks and foundation held copyrights really are board issues.

Who said anything about the community deciding? Oldak just said (and I agree) that it'd be good to let the community know.

FWIW, I heard some time back. The problem isn't that we don't have transparency and community involvement, it's just that it seems we have three thousand ways of going about it...
How much will the Wikimedia Foundation get from the use of the Wikipedia logo?
