 I sent an email to Johan Aakerlund, the creator of Comfortaa, this

 hoping :)

Fingers crossed.

 In my opinion you have too much contrast, going to a very dark area to a
 very bright area. And IMO the edges of those curves are way to sharp.

So I guess you are also going to make this announcement in a blog post,

2) The winning Fedora 14 default wallpaper concept is Kyle Baker's
concept, which is meant to depict many lines coming together to form a
solid whole.

@Kyle try to put one sun on that whole use some glass material ...
I would do this but I don't have hardware to rendering it.

personally I don't consider this part necessary. Usually it is desirable
not to mess with the logotype (dilluting it by creating subbrands,

in a Freely licensed font.

I don't think we want to mess with the logotype, but we'd like it to use
font we can use without issues _anywhere else_, so ideally we'd switch
the fedora logotype font to something FLOSS with good latin glyphs
coverage. What we're doing now is matching the logotype font with some
other that looks similar, which is suboptimal...

Btw. welcome to Red Hat and Fedora :)

I'd second that. I remember some years ago SELinux on desktop was
practically unusable -- lots of problems, applications stopping to work
because of it -- but now, I have SELinux turned on in enforcing mode and
everything works without issues. One thing that bugs me though, is that
the troubleshoot applet is slow like hell (and I still have some
wrongly-labeled directories from the olden times which I slowly relabel
anytime a SELinux denial pops up...) :-D

Fedora Community supports SELinux to be default on installations...
We are sticking with the way the rest of the community is working :)

Thanks Martin!

I very much see the need to have a headline Fedora font which can be
freely distributed and improved. In fact, this need drove me to create
5th Leg* for openSUSE to replace the awesome Cholla which sadly didn't
have a very permissive license.

But just like openSUSE didn't have to have the actual logo recreated
based on the new type, I don't think Fedora needs to do so either.

I really hope Johan will be willing to relicense Comfortaa, it would be
quite a time saver. I would love to work on making this work better as a
screen font as well (in terms of weight/spacing, not hinting). Fedora
would benefit for having this used as a default WM font.
