Hi everyone!

Glad to see Hilary reached out. Have been talking with her about CERN
logos, KiCad activities and ensuring everything is on the up-and-up for
donations.

Happy to discuss other ideas on how to fundraise in the future and build
community, please feel free to contact me off thread. If there is interest,
I'm happy to submit a report on a quarterly basis to the leadership team
which is when I'm doing my accounting/donation activities.

I also think trademarking is a good idea, though I have no experience with
it. Surely there are other FOSS projects we can copy?

~Chris
