#11: Branding Decision: Fedora $N $PRODUCT vs. Fedora $PRODUCT $N ----------------------+--------------------- Reporter: sgallagh | Owner: Status: new | Priority: normal Component: General | Resolution: Keywords: | ----------------------+--------------------- Comment (by cwickert): Replying to [comment:7 jwboyer]: > The name is what makes them distinct, not the order it's written out. As I said, it's mostly a continuity thing. If it was "Server 1" , ok fine. But it isn't. It's the 21st release of Fedora, with Server/Workstation/Cloud products. Fedora is the umbrella project release, and we have to consider the Spins as well. ... which are named Fedora $N $SPIN. So for consistency and continuity, Fedora $N $PRODUCT is the right thing. Replying to [comment:8 jwboyer]: > I personally would have preferred to see a bit more collaboration on this with Marketing first as I think it could have been resolved there. I, too, think that we should ask marketing and design for input, but I don't think any of them are in the position to tell the WGs how to name their product. Anyway: I first was clearly in favor of Fedora $PRODUCT $N, because we want the emphasis on the product, but the more I read and think about it, the more attractive Fedora $N $PRODUCT becomes. Fedora $N $PRODUCT * is consistent with other non-product deliverables * is continuous with previous releases, both in terms of numbering the releases and naming the deliverables * puts the emphasis on the umbrella project or the same base all products are building upon. * therefor only logical Still, my heart says Fedora $PRODUCT $N. The question is: Will we ever have different release cycles (as originally planned)? If yes, it will become confusing. Imagine Fedora Server 25 has is released x months after Fedora Workstation 25 and has a completely different lifecycle. If we really want to go this way, we probably want to change the numbering now and start with Fedora $PRODUCT $1. It's the first release of Fedora $PRODUCT and we cannot lover the release later. So the more I think about it, I'm slightly in favor of Fedora $N $PRODUCT. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/board/ticket/11#comment:12> board <https://fedorahosted.org/board> Fedora Project Board Public Tickets _______________________________________________ board-discuss mailing list board-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/board-discuss
