src/ ports/ doc/ or www/ who can vote, Or ...
- Agitate for votes for advocacy@ members (little chance I guess), Or ...
- Wait for commiters (who will ignore advocacy@) to choose Their logo,
then advocacy@ individuals can ignore or include logo on non
freebsd.org controlled BSD advocacy sites & events that advocacy@
readers organise.
