Branded USB Drives

[Christopher Fikes]

Quick question,

I was wanting to give out some bootable USB drives, but would love to have
them branded with the Fedora logo on them. Anyone done this before? Know of
where I can get them at a decent price?

I think if we knew that we'd be giving them away too. I would love to
see a move from plastic to usb drives but it is financially
problematic. If you find a good source please do let us all know about
it.

I have asked for quotes from a few companies that do the screen printing.
I'll let you guys know what I find.

NetBook with Fedora OS.

[Jason Benedict Low]

Hi All,
like to know any complication like "legal" issue if i installed Fedora
(say version 11) to a OEM netbook (the company i working on project
with) and distribute it along with the netbook sold? We just do not wand
to bother about OS. We like it to be FOSS just like fedora purely FOSS.

YOurcomments is very much appreciated.

As long as you're following the Trademark Guidelines and the GPL, there 
shouldn't be a problem.

There are some additions coming to the Trademark Guidelines addressing
OEM pre-loads.  I had these prepared at the beginning of June and
didn't get them published before all my travel, but that should be
fixed shortly.  Keep a watch on that page if you want to be advised
when the change occurs.

And those changes are now live:

In particular, refer to sections 5.6.3 and 6.1.3.

Somewhat unrelated but I'm curious what company you work for and when
we can expect to see Fedora powered netbooks available?

I can't tell much publicly yet. Sorry. I will try announcing it to the
list once things sorted-out and the Netbook Fedora is on sale. Thanks
for the interest.

We've done this in France.

We made some (500 iirc) 2GB Fedora branded USB sticks for 8€ each.
Then we install the latest Fedora on it and sell them for 10€ at our
release parties.
