I'm assuming their KDE spin is the usual KDE workspace + other apps. If
so, Fedora KDE Plasma Desktop Edition sounds right to me. (We chose the
"KDE Plasma Desktop" part.) :-) I can think of only 2 ways to shorten it
at the moment. 1) Fedora Plasma Desktop Edition (when KDE is no longer
needed as part of the name). 2) Fedora KDE Plasma Edition (if more than
one KDE workspace is included).

I added some contact info to the wiki page for openSUSE (2 ways,
actually). I sent an email to the community manager. In the boilerplate
thread, someone commented that the proper way to contact them (openSUSE)
was through openFATE and that they had filed a request.
