On the advice of the PostgreSQL Project's legal counsel, the PostgreSQL Project has \
updated the PostgreSQL Trademark Policy covering the "Postgres" and "PostgreSQL" word \
marks and the "Slonik" elephant graphical trademark. You can view the updates here:
* [PostgreSQL Trademark \
Policy](https://www.postgresql.org/about/policies/trademarks/)
In order to support this change and to provide as much flexibility in the use of the \
marks to the community as possible, we have also introduced a new set of guidelines \
for Recognised User Groups, similar to those already in place for Non Profit \
organisations and Conferences:
* [Recognised PostgreSQL User \
Groups](https://www.postgresql.org/about/policies/user-groups/)
As is the case with many Open Source projects, it is important that the PostgreSQL \
Project's brand is used in alignment with the goals and best interests of the \
community. The PostgreSQL Core Team and the PostgreSQL Community Association of \
Canada, who administer the marks, have worked closely with our legal counsel to \
ensure that the policy is both open and fair when using the PostgreSQL brand.
If you have any questions about these changes, please feel free to reach out to the \
PostgreSQL Community Association of Canada (board@lists.postgres.ca).
