Topic: Conservancy 2025 updates
Leader: Taylor Blau

* More trademark requests than typical this year
* Asked Perforce to stop using a very similar logo to the git logo
* Git holds a fairly restrictive trademark policy, but often doesn't enforce it.
	Some risk the trademark office could flag that.
* Git project has a significant amount of money that could be spent ($100k?).
	 * Emily: Could sponsor git-related projects (ex: gitoxide)
* Outreachy costs money per-intern
	 * Not guaranteed that GitHub or GitLab would always be able to sponsor all
		 the interns the Git project desires. Could use $ for this. Also depends on
		 the future of Outreachy.
* Git ambassador program, with stipends?
	 * Needs someone with interest and skills to organize
