The post is not part of the release and should not be a blocker for
packaging (and I agree with you, its wording can be improved - we don't
have a better text from marketing).
Forwarding this to the Marketing project for some discussion and
upgrade. The poster in question is at:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/F10Themes/Solar#Fedora_10_.28X.29_R...
Note this poster isn't part of the official release artwork. But with
some better text put together by the Marketing group, it could be. Can
you come up with something catchy for this eye-popping art?

How about something like:
Look out for a new star in this autumn's skies: Fedora 10 arrives $date
As the main text?
Seems strange though that we're possibly going to be using lines like
this for marketing when the release is called Cambridge. Maybe it's
time we tried to unify the release name with the artwork?

A very old discussion. We keep aiming for this goal, but sometimes the
themes come in from new people; if the theme is too good to pass up I
suspect we'll end up in this boat again. I'd rather have an attractive
theme than a matching theme, personally, although having both would be a
bonus! :-)

There are two problems:
- schedule: even if the selection of the release name was moved near to
the development cycle start trying to help the Art team, it still was
quite late;
- for F9 we really tried such a tie, integrating sulphur crystals in the
graphics, but the feed-back was negative so we took it down at the last
minute. You can't link a good theme with any name (Cambridge is also
tough from this point of view - use a stylised version of the
university? a science lab? - not many options).

I suppose reversing it and doing the artwork first and basing the name
of that isn't an option because of the legal problems it would cause?

That is one reason and the another is that basing the release name on
the graphic theme would effectively make the Art team to dictate the
release name.
