=== July 17th Marketing Meeting: A new Fedora Brand Motto === | |||
Michael Beckwith posted the log of the July 2008 Marketing meeting. One of the major topics of the meeting was the Fedora brand of "infinity / freedom / voice" vs. the motto of "friends / freedom / features / first", developed earlier this year. Paul Frields later posted [2] that these new "four foundations" need to come to the front and become the new motto for Fedora. He invites ideas to express the four foundations graphically, and is going to be moving the request into the Artwork project queue. | |||
