The Open Source Initiative provides "Open Source" and "OSI Certified" logos we could use on the Boost home page.
See http://www.opensource.org/trademark for the HTML markup and conditions of use.
See http://www.opensource.org/trademarks/opensource and http://www.opensource.org/trademarks/osi-certified for the logos themselves, in various formats and sizes.
Should we include one of the OSI logos on the web site's home page? Yes +1
+1

It would make more contextual sense to put that in the license page <http://beta.boost.org/users/license.html>. And adding a FAQ entry to explain the OSI certification.
Which one? Both? :-)
Might be a good idea, actually.
I vote "yes", and prefer the "OSI Certified" logo. If we have to stick to one only, then yes that one.
Agreed.
Can we modify the Boostbook stylesheets to put these in the footer automatically?
Yes of course we can.
Note that OSI "insist[s] and ask[s]" that the images be linked to their site. So including them in the docs would either go against their wishes/instructions or cause loading problems for off-line viewing.
I don't think the problems caused would be serious enough to worry about. If there's no image available, you get a box that says "OSI Approved." -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://boost-consulting.com
