So I'm going to ask this question to you, the friendly Fedora marketing team.
But first, a history lesson:
Holy Crap!! Didn't know I was involved in that LOL. Or at least I don't remember most of it, just the initial "what the heck is going on type thing" and trying to help explain or inform of what I *thought* was going on. Heh, think a lot of that was people jumping the gun, thinking it all was gonna start happening "now" and not thinking it might take a while to get it going/started. Anyway, not gonna start "that" convo up again..
This is pretty much the most accurate depiction of how the great brand gulf between Fedora and Red Hat started. And in many people's minds, that gulf has grown to such an extent that many don't have any way of associating Red Hat with Fedora *at all*.
So let me ask you:
If, in splash screens for Fedora, we put a tasteful "sponsored by Red Hat" with the Shadowman logo somewhere small... how would you all feel about that?
I don't see what that would hurt. Maybe something along the lines of "Driven by the Community, sponsored by Red Hat!" type thing?
+1 though :)
