I took interest in this task being a member of the Free-media as well. 
So, I accepted the ticket.
Looks much similar to a design I did before ... which was of no
consequence (seemed unnecessary and overambitious at the time)
See: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/File:Fedora-DIY-Sleeve.svgz#file
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/File:Fedora-DIY_Sleeve_Cased.A.svgz#file

Strangely, Joe's design bears a .otg extension ... which software reads
that?  Would be nice to see what was done earlier as I am curious as to
why Free-media wants a redesign.

In any case, I've stepped up for this one.

.OTG fles are templates for Open Document graphics, you open them in 
OpenOffice.org Draw.

Hi,

Since I filed the ticket, I will answer this.

My original message to the design team is here
http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2010-September/003337.h...

We'd like to "officially" announce this as the free media mailer once
the design team has finished tweaking it.

If your CD sleeves are anything to go by, I'm sure your envelope design
will be great. I look forward to seeing it.
