[Fedora-marketing-list] [review] Fedora Core 6
by Leo 21 Nov '06

21 Nov '06

"Fedora Core is often called a test version of Red Hat, but many believe that it deserves to be recognised as a fully fledged distribution in its own right. Led by a community and sponsored by Red Hat, Fedora is probably one of the most popular GNU/Linux distributions in the world, with users including Wikipedia. It recently reached its sixth release, so let's see what's inside. ......" http://www.free-bees.co.uk/articles/fedoracore6/ -- Leo

> From: Rahul Sundaram <sundaram(a)fedoraproject.org> > Article covering the Fedora Summit related developments > http://lwn.net/Articles/207938/ From the linked posting to f-a-b by Mr. Spevack: > The choice to have those meetings on the phone, as opposed to on > IRC, was > one that was made by the Board when we started up, the main reason > being > the ones that Paul stated -- phone calls are higher bandwidth, and the > idea is to get everyone in that call on the same page as quickly as > possible. At our company, we have found that phone conferences are very productive, but unless there is a transcriptionist, what each person takes away from that conversation isn't always the same. And the contents of the conversation is not available to those not on the conference call. Slap down a digital voice recorder next to the phone speaker and post an OGG later. > Reading through all of those emails, the one thing that really > struck me > and made me think was the comment that "everything in Fedora takes > a long > time." Fedora isn't just turning a great big ship ( RH, cough ), it is turning a ship, building a ship, and at the same time trying to respond to all the shouters on the dock telling you what to do to both. Yeah, it's gonna take time. From an end-user perspective, I just want to see continuous improvement visible. ( I think there has been a great deal of progress FC5 => FC6 _outside_ of the versions on the packages that are on the discs ) Speed isn't that important to me because Fedora will never be "done" - there isn't really a finish line.

fedora-ve logo?
by "Guillermo Gómez S." 13 Nov '06

13 Nov '06

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, we have a contributor who posted a modified logo with fedora-ve text in it. Is it valid to do such modifications? I dont want to punish him but certainly he has a point on localizing the logo somehow. What's the policy in this case? To encourgae him to make it "the right" or not to modify it at all ?

[Fedora-marketing-list] Legally correct term.
by Gain Paolo Mureddu 13 Nov '06

13 Nov '06

As some friends and me are preparing a series of Fedora events to take place in the coming months, we were wondering what is the correct term for "Fedora Linux" legally speaking. We will be making some stickers which amongst other things will feature the legend "Fedora Linux", and since Linux when used in certain contexts can be referred to as Linux®, also I remember that Red Hat refers to Fedora as Fedora™, so when put together both terms, what is the correct way to put them: Fedora™ Linux® Fedora Linux® Fedora® Linux® ? I do believe that the same applies to the Logo, where the Infinity Logo is accompanied by the ® symbol, but I'm not sure. Thanks in advance for your inputs and clarifications.
