Honestly, the ideal thing to do would be to market it as it is:
"Fedora
Linux," It gives our distribution some independence.
Independence from what?
We should also start focusing on the market of testers.
Is there a market of testers? Who are they, what do they want? Are they
interested in testing all things, or just certain specific things?
Because we are a bleeding edge distro.
We aren't, though. We strive to be a leading edge distro *without* the
blood.
The android path seems like a better method to reach the kind of
people
that Fedora seems to reach in its current marketing approach. Bleeding edge
testers, If we wanted to market it towards your typical computer user, the
development team needs to make a LTS edition. Imagine a more true-to-fedora
version of the Chapeau remix. Chapeau is honestly a few steps ahead of us
in marketing to normal-PC users. The faster we can turn Fedora into the
first result when someone searches "Beginner Linux" The larger amount of
people we could be promoting Fedora, linux, and programming to could help
the Fedora distro massively. But we need to get in contact with the
development team regarding making an LTS Edition
Is "beginner linux" what we want? How does that match with testers, or
with leading or "bleeding" edge?
