 Podlings are, by definition, not yet fully accepted as part of the
 Apache Software Foundation. Therefore, they are subject to additional
 branding constraints, on top of the
 link:http://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/responsibility[branding guidelines for top-level projects]

 == Publicity throughout the Incubation Process

 There are three stages in a podling's life-cycle that have an impact
 on the types of publicity seeking that are permitted.  We refer to
 "publicity seeking" as issuing press releases or otherwise affirmatively
 seeking publicity (seeding news stories, etc.).

 *Podling is in proposal/or pre-code-drop process*: No publicity
 seeking is permitted.  A podling is not allowed to be called Apache
 _Podling-Name_ name until the podling is officially in
 Incubation, public mailing lists are announced, and code has been
 submitted into our repositories.

 *Podling has been approved for incubation, podling has launched
 public mailing lists, and podling has dropped code into
 repository*: A podling *MUST* now be called Apache
 _Podling-Name_ (see link:#Naming[Naming] below).
 A podling and affiliated persons can issue press releases that
 reference the podling, but cannot issue press releases with the
 specific intent of announcing the Podling.  Podling can conduct
 informal pr activities, such as media outreach, blog publicity, etc.
 The ASF will not issue any press releases for any podling at this
 stage.  However, the
 link:http://www.apache.org/press/index.html#whoweare[Apache Press Team]
 *MUST* review any releases by affiliated
 organizations or groups to ensure they comply with these branding
 guidelines.

 *Podling has graduated from the Incubator*: The Apache Public
 Relations Committee is willing to issue formal press releases for all
 podlings who successfully graduate from the Incubator and are
 interested in issuing a press release.  Or, the ASF may enter into a
 joint press release with any other affiliated organizations or groups.

 == Naming

 After a podling has been approved, the lists are created, and the initial
  code drop has commenced, the podling *MUST* be referred to as Apache
  _Podling-Name_ *AND* mention that the project is
  under Incubation.  Suitable mentions include:

 - Inclusion of the http://_podling-name_.incubator.apache.org/ URL
 - Apache _Podling-Name_ is currently undergoing Incubation at the Apache Software Foundation.

 Other references may only be used upon prior approval by the Incubator PMC.  These statements only need to be disclosed upon the first reference in a document.

 == Disclaimers

 Podling web sites MUST include a clear disclaimer on their
 website and in all documentation (including releases) stating that
 they are in incubation. Podlings SHOULD use the following text for
 all disclaimers (replace the underlined phrases as appropriate):

 [quote]
 ____
 Apache [.underline]#Podling-Name# is an effort
 undergoing incubation at The Apache Software Foundation (ASF),
 sponsored by the [.underline]#name of Apache TLP sponsor#. Incubation is required of all
 newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the
 infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have
 stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects.
 While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the
 completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the
 project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.
 ____

 Podlings wishing to use a different disclaimer message MUST have the
 disclaimer approved by the Incubator PMC prior to use.

 For releases, the text SHOULD be included in a separate DISCLAIMER file
 stored alongside the NOTICE and LICENSE files.

 == Incubator Logo
 Podlings websites should follow the logo description from link:press-kit.html[Press Kit for Podlings].

 == Publicity activities
 Podlings *MUST* coordinate with the Apache Public Relations Committee on
 all publicity activities by a podling.

 Media activities in the Open Source space can be difficult to negotiate even for experienced professionals. The ASF’s Marketing & Publicity team understands this space and it is in the best interests of all that they are consulted prior to embarking on formal outreach or related publicity. Please refer to the https://incubator.apache.org/guides/publicity.html[Apache Podling Publicity/Media Guidelines] or contact ASF Marketing & Publicity at press(at)apache(dot)org for more information.


 == Response to Unapproved Statements
 The Apache Public Relations Committee SHALL affirmatively and publicly
 respond to any unapproved statements surrounding podlings which are factually
 incorrect.
