Would the twitter at fp.o get only twitter mail notifications? Or were
you thinking of that to aggregate all the identi.ca stuff as well?

I'll file that ticket of awesome with design.  I'm thinking it would
be super cool to incorporate the 4 foundations pieces somehow - in
conjunction with logo design, of course. Or even using some of the
freedom bird art
(http://fedorapeople.org/groups/designteam/Fedora%20Collateral/Posters/Freedom-Bird/Freedom-Bird.png)
- although it is somewhat similar to the twitter bird.

My question, of course, is: What is the first "official" tweet going
to say? Are we going to just continue on as usual - or do we want to
take the moment to say something fun / cool / meaningful?
