Fedora- Ireland Website?

[Frank Murphy]

Going back to school on Tuesday.
Will have to create a website as part of it,
using whatever app is specified.

Rather than creating a fictitious site,
 was thinking of putting together a fedora-Ireland site.
Which after the schooling could be used,
a basis for Ireland\Fedora users.

Looking for some feedback on the idea (1), and the use of the name
fedora (2) in a registered domain.

(2) is like we all do for our local Fedora-related websites, a domain is 
cheap and usually not a problem to buy yourself. However, there is not a 
  single way to choose the domain name, there are in the wild domains 
like  fedora-fr.org, projetofedora.org or fedoraproject.ro.

(1) I think if you want the website to be as useful as possible to your 
users you may want to run a CMS on it (wiki, blog, forum, drupal - 
something with user-contributed content) which may be outside of the 
scope for your school project.

Note that use of the word "Fedora" in a registered domain requires a
trademark license from Red Hat.

So I'd need to check with RedHat.

The best way of doing that is to bring this to fedora-advisory-board,
the Fedora Project Board's public communications and discussion channel.

https://redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-advisory-board

Of course the Board and I monitor those channels so we will be happy to
respond to you there.  We would consult Red Hat and, if approved, make
the appropriate arrangements.
