Branding concerns about workstation

[Máirín Duffy]

Hi folks,

Christian and I talked about some of the points brought up in this 
thread this morning and we agreed that a good way forward would be to 
come up with:

(1) A written policy on how we brand Fedora, and also

(2) A documented process that can be followed when there's a request to 
change that policy.

I'm going to go back through this thread (and some of the other related 
ones that have popped up over time, this seems to come up cyclically 
lately) and talk to some of the stakeholders involved (including Matthew 
from the Fedora POV, one of the RHEL product managers from the RHEL POV 
since our branding ability affects RHEL, Jakub who is one of the GNOME 
shell designers) to list out all of the goals / needs we have and 
various possibilities to address them that won't compromise the design 
but also achieve the goals we have (if that's possible :) Let's be 
optimistic and assume it is.)

I am going to reach out to some of our Red Hat corporate branding folks 
too since a lot of them have deep experience on this sort of problem 
space not just from RH's perspective but from their work at other 
companies and see if I can't find someone to advise us from that sort of 
third-person / objective POV as well - maybe they might have some good 
insight or solution we haven't considered.

I have a few other things to tie up today but I will have a rough draft 
at a problem statement written up this week and will start some other 
documentation too (e.g. going through the thread and pulling out 
potential suggested solutions, etc.) I will keep this list posted and 
keep things open so anybody can have the opportunity to suggest ideas / 
provide feedback / etc.
