Feedback from Distrowatch
by Rahul Sundaram
Hi
Serious question; Should the Fedora logo be changed?
http://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20120507#news
'
The Fedora website provided fairly positive results. Everyone was able
to find an appropriate download link for the Fedora ISOs. Likewise,
people were able to find the documentation to walk them through an
installation without too much trouble. What I found a bit amusing was
that almost a third of the participants thought Fedora was some sort of
Facebook plugin or application instead of a full operating system, due
to the project's logo. This is one of those things people inside the
Linux community would probably never consider, but there's a bit of a
confusion over the brand (apparently) where outsiders are concerned."

I didn't see a link to the wiki page here or elsewhere in the thread so:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Future_Release_Naming
If you are interested please add your name to the list so we can move
forward.

Toshio,
I would be happy to participate in the meetings so I can provide insight
into what may be more or less successful methodologies from a clearance
perspective.

Fedora has guidelines regarding OEM pre-loads of unmodified Fedora software:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal:Trademark_guidelines#OEM_pre-loads_o...
Assuming that you are compliant with those guidelines, you may
preinstall and redistribute Fedora on your PCs.
If you have questions, please feel free to direct them to me.
