Yup, Danny Wool negotiated with Cisco to use Wikipedia in the commercial.

If I remember Danny correctly, he said he got the Foundation a nice sum of
moolah for it.

To be a little more exact, the ad agency contacted us about using the logo
for the ad. We all discussed it in the office, and agreed that there should be
some compensation. I asked, and they agreed. Nothing too spectacular.

This has been a test of the emergency wikipedia logo electronic
transmission usage and detection subsystem, powered by MediaWiki 1.8.2 and
Merkey's eyeballs. This has only been a test.

If you look for "the human network" at youtube, you will find a
low-res version of that ad.

Could you message this list in the future to tell us what has been
decided in terms of this kind of thing? It was the right decision,
IMO, but it would be good to have the transparency and community
involvement.

Decisions would been needed at a reasonable rate and trademarks and
foundation held copyrights really are board issues.

Who said anything about the community deciding? Oldak just said (and I
agree) that it'd be good to let the community know.

FWIW, I heard some time back. The problem isn't that we don't have
transparency and community involvement, it's just that it seems we
have three thousand ways of going about it...

How much will the Wikimedia Foundation get from the use of the Wikipedia logo?

Asher Heimermann

Danny Said....

To be a little more exact, the ad agency contacted us about using the logo
for the ad. We all discussed it in the office, and agreed that there should be
some compensation. I asked, and they agreed. Nothing too spectacular.
