Hey thanks for taking this task on - I think it'll be great material to 
correspond with Fedora 8's release.

We are now actually just starting to discuss the design of marketing 
materials on the Fedora art list. If there's anything we can do to help 
with the look/feel/graphics/design for your series do let us know! One 
idea we had was to put together a 'press kit' for F8's release that we 
could send out to Ambassadors representing Fedora at events, and it 
seems like your series might fit well into that if you were interested.
