However there are a large number of Fedora resources that are focused on new technology and advancements in the user experience. Most of this effort is focused on the Gnome desktop. This is due to the number of package maintainers in Fedora that are also the upstream developers. So we do tend to see the new things in Gnome first, and then KDE later (see NetworkManager, PackageManager, pulseaudio, DeviceKit, power management, so on, so forth). When you look at our feature list, many of the cool things we want to show off are only available in Gnome, or with Gnome/gtk applications. As such, Fedora's "best foot forward" when it comes to showing off the work we're doing and advancing technology is the gnome based desktop. It's not a pure gnome spin, we're using other parts such as Firefox, so really it is the "Fedora Desktop".
