I also think this is fun idea Linda.

We do have some restrictions and guidelines on the usage of the 
OpenSolaris name and wordmark, but we can still do our own thing for the 
newsletter without breaking any rules.

- Create a name for the newsletter that doesn't include OpenSolaris. 
This may seem counter-intuitive, but we can't mess with the OpenSolaris 
wordmark or name, so if the goal is to create a graphic and name of some 
sort, we just won't include it. We can however use OpenSolaris in a 
tagline. For example, <graphic logo> The Monthly Register <text> 
OpenSolaris community highlights. This falls under fair use and as long 
as what we say is fair and true, we can say it textually (as opposed to 
graphically).

- You can NOT use any sort of copyrighted artwork (or anything that 
looks too close to it) or name. For example, you can't come up with a 
graphic that looks just like the New York Times or Coca Cola logos, 
those are registered and copyrighted. It just means that it has to be 
your own art and a new name.

- Whatever you submit should be licensed under the Creative Commons. Sun 
is not going to try to trademark the name or anything like that.

If that is confusing, let me know.

What would be the best way for us to accept submissions and to vote on them?
