no trademarks or logo mark assets

You'll want to use the 'no registered trademark' agreement.

I might be dumb, but what am I supposed to do with these PDFs? Download and edit to fill in the project name, etc., and sign it as... myself? Should I attach it back to this issue?

You will want to reach out to your Legal team for the entity to sign this, I can give you editable versions.

Oh okay, thanks. In that case, @mchmarny can you be responsible for getting this signed off by Google legal? There aren't any trademarks for ko, so this is hopefully just a formality.

[imjasonh]

Just a quick update, the domain transfer is complete, and it looks like the only remaining item is Google affirming that there are no trademarks to transfer. @mchmarny says he's passed that along to Google legal to finish up.

[amye]

Neat! Marking domain off.

Hi @imjasonh !
My name Crystal Mierly and I will be taking over assisting new sandbox projects with the onboarding process!
It looks like all you need to be done on your end is to:

• Trademarks: transfer any trademark and logo mark assets over to the LF - https://github.com/cncf/foundation/tree/master/agreements has agreements
• Adopt a license scanning tool, like FOSSA or Snyk

If you have any questions on these last two tasks, please let me know!

[imjasonh]

• Trademarks: transfer any trademark and logo mark assets over to the LF - https://github.com/cncf/foundation/tree/master/agreements has agreements

That would have to be acknowledged by someone still at Google, I think. Unfortunately anyone I know at Google associated with the project has since left.

If it helps, ko has no trademarks at all, so there's nothing to transfer.

• Adopt a license scanning tool, like FOSSA or Snyk

I've imported the ko repos into FOSSA and they're waiting to be scanned:

[Cmierly]

Thank you for the update @imjasonh !
If ko has no trademarks to transfer, we do have a no registered trademarks document that will need to be signed and sent over to us

[imjasonh]

That makes sense. Can I sign it? Or does someone still at Google need to sign it?

Check with your legal department about who should sign.

Hi @imjasonh !
Did you manage to make progress on getting the trademark signed over?

[krook]

@Cmierly did we manage to finish the trademark agreement? That seems like the last step.

[Cmierly]

@krook no update, unfortunately
