Hi Rajesh,

This icon was based on the globe icon in the Tango Icons set [1], and
as such it shows the same side of the globe.

Being a globe, it can only show a part of the surface, but of course
this doesn't mean that the Fedora community doesn't extend to the
countries not shown. I hope it's clear that that wasn't my intention.
:)

I guess we could change it to be a map of the world, instead of a
globe. If you could find me an SVG image of a world map that's public
domain (or under an acceptable license) I'd be happy to use that
instead of a globe.
