Honestly, the ideal thing to do would be to market it as it is: "Fedora Linux," It gives our distribution some independence. We should also start focusing on the market of testers. Because we are a bleeding edge distro. 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
