Hi everyone.
Everyone, unfortunatly, have clear in their mind the M$ stickers like
"Designed for XP" and things like that.
Anyone plan to create something like that for Fedora?
I don't say to produce that stickers in plastic material or things
like that (is too expensive I guess) but to produce the idea so, in
example during a Fedora advocacy session, we can print this stickers
(on a adhesive paper in example) to give is as a gift to the people.
Or, in other hand, give them the option to print them by them self.
The design will be done by the art team.

That is only an idea.
I'm waiting for your opinions/critics :).

Happy Fedoring :).

[The term "Fedoring" is lossy based upon the term "Netbeaning" coined
(as far as I know) by a Netbeans (OSS IDE for Java development)
Podcast :)]

With this idea in mind, some time ago (during the days of Fedora Core 5) 
I created this concept for "stickers"...

This one is the one I liked the most, but I also created these other 
"designs", not only for Fedora, but for Linux in general:

Group of stickers in Spanish and English

These are variations of the same idea in Spanish:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v328/thetargos/Various/etiqueta-tux-Es-...

The same as above, in English:

I've got the original Inkscape's SVGs if someone of the Artwork team 
wants them.

Sweet ... I would suggest that we should have a rectangular sticker that
can be easily stuck on a laptop cover. The height-wise longish stickers
look good on the laptop's wrist-space area. I just think that width-wise
longish stickers might look good on the laptop covers.

It would be great if we can get these stickers out into the market for
the enthusiasts!

hey ....

great idea (himself) ....

.... but I fear you have to take a look at "using the fedora Logo"
guidlines. Unfortunately we haven't a 3D-Logo, have we???

Regards

Gerold

The "Designed for Windows XP" sticker as far as I know is hard won as is
the "Intel Centrino" sticker. While "Designed for Fedora" or even
"Powered by Fedora" would be a great idea, let's try and see how we can
de-couple the implicit notion that the hardware was "certified on Fedora"

I think the idea "Certified on Fedora" would be great if some vendor
(I think to the smaller one not to the big such Dell or like that)
could use it if, and only if, if all the hardware run great on Fedora.
For the user "Powered By Fedora" would be enough. Well. It's just an idea.
It's a detail of a marketing strategy, but also the details could
help for promoting Fedora.

Happy Fedoring :).

Hardware Certification is kind of difficult (but not really impossible)
for a release cycle like Fedora ie unless one ends up with Fedora LTS :)
. I think I heard about a few small vendors giving "Assured to run on
Fedora" in India, never did check up though.

There was a "Powered By Fedora" sticker that dfong had made, now to
figure out where exactly I put it
