Yes, I would like to avoid setting up a bunch of new slogans all at the same time. At the same time, I realize that the alliteration ("f" at the beginning of all the words) won't work outside English, for which I apologize. But the *ideas* are strong, so translating those words directly would still be powerful, I think.
Part of the power of a slogan comes from using it consistently. If everyone makes their own, how do we tell the difference between the unofficial ones and the official one? Frankly, I'd rather see T-shirts not reflect any slogan, just the branding (logo) and website.
Hello Paul.
Regarding the 4 foundations, maybe they should be better exposed in the Wiki. Just ran a quick search of the Wiki for a mixed variations of the words "4 foundations", "four foundations" and "foundations" and of all results I couldn't get one which linked to the main article explaining those. Also it may be a good idea to advertise them in the font page for the Wiki, since they're the basic idea upon which Fedora ideals and values revolve. Maybe this has already been done and I simply didn't browse or search the *right* places. I wanted to do see an explanation for them as it may better aid with translations other than "Freedom = Libertad", "Friendship = Amistad", etc, but putting the full reasoning behind the words, just like it was the case when these words were chosen to be the foundations ;-)
I appologize to reply to this thread here instead of addressing this on a more appropriate channel (Marketing?)
This is a good point! I did a search for "infinity freedom voice" and also got no page saying those are official slogans. :-\
This really needs a page on the wiki, like Marketing/Slogans. Unfortunately I'm stranded at a hotel where the network is horrible. (The search I just did? Took 7.5 minutes, whereas it normally takes only a few seconds.) I'm forwarding this to f-marketing-l where we can mark it as an action item in our next meeting.
