I dunno, "team" is pretty generic.  No one playing football (on either
side of the pond) seems to have a problem with it.  Hmm, "club"?  Too
Mickey Mouse.  "League"?  "Fedora Justice League to the rescue!"
"Cadre"?  "Corps"?  "Assemblage"?  "Consortium"?

/me suggests "Team" and a bottle of Pepto Bismol at the ready for
Seth. :-)

P.S.  I think "Fedora Project" is fine as is for the umbrella.
