In Mo's blog post about the history of the Fedora logo, there are separate logos for "Fedora Project" and for "Fedora Core" — the OS deliverable. Merging Core and Extras into one thing was absolutely the right thing to do for the project, but not having a unique name for the resulting OS was a mistake and leads to this. Ah well. I'm not going to go out of my way to crusade about this by tracking down people who Say It Wrong On The Internet, but I think as a project we can at least attempt to be internally consistent, and I think there are huge benefits in making sure Fedora (the project) isn't tied to one particular output. -- Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora Project Leader _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
