we should just keep current fedora media with us (where the stickers are, in my case, my vehicle) and hand it out every time someone makes a comment about the "facebook" sticker.

for Fedora use.
(This is an entirely sarcastic post).
Seriously, I also think, the more the merrier. If people ask about the
Fedora logo, you can argue and say, well, you don't pay for facebook do
you ? And you value privacy in Facebook, don't you ? So why not use a
free, secure, reliable OS to full fill your secure
computation/communication needs.
