Erik, I also found that the simple name "FreeBSD" could not be used. I also took action and created "FreeBSD Users" which produced the same 2 working day review mail. Will let you know how that goes. If that's accepted, I was thinking of also creating "FreeBSD Contributor" and "FreeBSD Committer" as well. I've shrunken the standard logo down to sizes required by LinkedIn. Perhaps it would be nice to have separate logos for FreeBSD User, FreeBSD Contributor, and FreeBSD Committer? I've done a bit of Googling to see if I could find the custom logo font produced by Anton Gural, but no luck. Any pointers there would be appreciated. Worst case, I suppose I could find some other font that's looks reasonably nice with the logo.
