[Neil Van Dyke]

There's a GitHub presence, "https://github.com/racket-lang", which has
the Racket logo, but no Repositories/People/Projects visible. People who
land on that could think Racket has nothing on GitHub. Also, if it's not
in our control, it's a bit of a security problem.

If one of us controls it, and it's not being used for some nonpublic
purpose, consider deleting/hiding it.  Or, even if it is being used for
a nonpublic purpose, at least adding a message and link to point to the
actual public GitHub presence, and maybe taking the logo off.

Or, if we don't know who controls it, then I suggest talking with GitHub
about what's going on with it, and whether it should be taken down.

[Sam Tobin-Hochstadt]

I don't know who controls that account.

Me neither. I took a look at their “report abuse” button, and it looks like it’s for DMCA violations and similar. More generally, it suggests a certain attitude on the part of GitHub which I generally respect but which might make it very hard to do much about this. It probably wouldn’t hurt to ask them, though.

It’s not an account it’s an organisation.

If no current people recognize it, then maybe a Racket official can
report it to GitHub *as a possible security problem*, which should be
less likely to be ignored than general customer support requests.

(Specifically, it's potentially a way to impersonate official Racket
stuff, such as in (possibly trojan) software distributions, and in
messages.  I'm not too concerned about it, but this is good practice.)

(Years ago, my first guess would be that Eli grabbed a presence there
while everywhere else.  But I couldn't find a record of it in
archive.org, and the logo looks recent.)

[Eli Barzilay]

Yeah, I don't know anything about it, and I wouldn't have used the new logo.
