Open Stack

One logistical item to point out. We have been advised to minimize our use of “OIF” to reduce confusion with another organization that has a trademark on “OIF”. While we won’t be able to prevent everyone from using the acronym to reference the foundation, much like OSF was used, we have been advised to not use it in “attention getting” places.

We have started to replace the acronym with “OpenInfra Foundation” and “OpenInfra” depending on the use case. Another option to consider that we’re using for twitter handle, url, and similar spots is “OpenInfraDev”. 

Thanks,
Wes

We should definitely keep it short so don't feel going to openinfratructure is a good alternative even if it is more obvious. I do think the more we use OIF vs OSF it'll be more natural for people to look for it.
