[DRMAA-WG] DRMAA Logo?

[Rajic, Hrabri]

Having our own external wiki and pages (are they up the date?) we are
not all the time under OGF umbrella policies.

DRMAA trademark is something different.  

Inquiring about the OGF marketing office position for the above issues
should not take much effort.  I will do that one of these days.
