Pidora Russian Apology

Pidora Russian It has come to our attention that the Pidora name bears an unfortunate similarity to another word in Russian, and this has offended some community members and amused others. Please accept our apologies for any offence caused. Our goal was to simply associate "Pi" (from Raspberry Pi) and "Fedora" (from Fedora). We are actively seeking a broadly-acceptable alternative Russian name in consultation with some community members, and will post more information shortly. -Chris Tyler

A mock corporate apology announces that the name “Pidora” resembles an offensive Russian word. The joke comes from treating an accidental wordplay issue as a serious branding crisis while explaining that the name combines Pi and Fedora.
