Feedback from Distrowatch
by Rahul Sundaram 15 May '12

Hi Serious question; Should the Fedora logo be changed? http://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20120507#news ' The Fedora website provided fairly positive results. Everyone was able to find an appropriate download link for the Fedora ISOs. Likewise, people were able to find the documentation to walk them through an installation without too much trouble. What I found a bit amusing was that almost a third of the participants thought Fedora was some sort of Facebook plugin or application instead of a full operating system, due to the project's logo. This is one of those things people inside the Linux community would probably never consider, but there's a bit of a confusion over the brand (apparently) where outsiders are concerned." Rahul

"The Fedora Project is preparing for the final release of Fedora 17 with the beta version of their cutting edge distribution. Dubbed Beefy Miracle, the release of the beta was delayed for three weeks while further testing and bug fixing was done to meet the stringent requirements set down by the team. "This development version brings with it a number of new features and upgrades, all of them to show off the very latest, and upcoming, open source software." http://www.linuxuser.co.uk/reviews/fedora-17-beta-review-miraculously-beefy/

by Jason Brooks 11 May '12

11 May '12

"The Fedora Project is still trying to clarify its process of naming major releases, a process that has been met with calls for revision within the Fedora community. "To address the problem, Fedora Advisory Board member Toshio Kuratomi is working to build a new naming process that will avoid some of the pitfalls of the most-recent naming concerns." http://www.itworld.com/it-managementstrategy/276036/fedora-project-naming-n…

I didn't see a link to the wiki page here or elsewhere in the thread so: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Future_Release_Naming If you are interested please add your name to the list so we can move forward. ~m

Toshio, I would be happy to participate in the meetings so I can provide insight into what may be more or less successful methodologies from a clearance perspective.

Fedora has guidelines regarding OEM pre-loads of unmodified Fedora software: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal:Trademark_guidelines#OEM_pre-loads_of_… Assuming that you are compliant with those guidelines, you may preinstall and redistribute Fedora on your PCs. If you have questions, please feel free to direct them to me. Thanks, Tom Callaway Fedora Legal
