The Board talked about this a couple of months ago, and agreed to the
"MeeGo Spin by Fedora" name (after receiving permission from The Linux
Foundation to use that name, assuming we're deemed "compliant" with
the MeeGo specifications).  Unfortunately, the MeeGo community still
hasn't released their compliance specifications, and all indications
are that in order to be deemed "compliant", we're going to have to
make changes that we're not comfortable with.  In other words, we have
permission to use "MeeGo Spin by Fedora" if we decide to follow the
compliance route, or we'll have to come up with another name (not
using the MeeGo mark, artwork, etc.).

In talking with Peter Robinson, it seems like we're headed down the
"pick another name not using the MeeGo mark" road.  I'm assuming we're
going to to call the spin something like the "Fedora Mobility" spin.
I'm copying Peter on this, so that he can help fill us in on his
plans.
