As far as I understand it, there is no such thing as an "official" remix.
All remixes are outside the scope of the Fedora Project.

As much as I love Pidora (even to the point of providing hosting for their
site) and think the Seneca folks are doing a fine job with it, I'm not sure
how far I would personally want to go down the road towards categorizing
remixes into two camps of "we will advertise these remixes" and "we won't
advertise these remixes" on the website.  One could hope that common sense
would prevail, but if there's anything I've learned over the past several
years, it's that common sense to one person is complete madness to
another.  With that in mind, I've come to my own personal conclusion that
if it were totally up to me (and thank goodness it isn't!), I would think
it best not to advertise any remixes on the front page of the Fedora
Project website.  A sobering conculsion to be sure, but I can't see any
other logical end that doesn't somehow split remixes into "haves" and "have
nots".
