Slogan use

Our release slogan typically has been a fun community contribution that ends up on the website at the main fedoraproject.org page. The slogan is supposed to function as a call to action but it draws its theme from the release-specific artwork. For F10 (Cambridge), which featured the blazing Solar artwork, the slogan was "Fire it up." For F11 (Leonidas), the slogan was "Reign" (which is inteded to allude to the lion). Although sometimes it's difficult to translate, we typically give the translators a lot of latitude to recreate the slogan in a way that makes sense in their culture and language. Over the past couple releases, I've had a number of people contact me privately or pop up on IRC and mailing lists asking about the slogan. One of the most consistent questions is, does it reflect what we want our front page to say about the Fedora Project in general? In a way, it does, because we do believe the slogan is reflective of the forward-looking, leading-edge distribution we produce. But should a release-specific slogan change our project front page every six months? I'm not so sure. I'm wondering whether we should think about placing the slogan prominently on the get-fedora page (get.fedoraproject.org) and having something more general on the front page itself, in the space currently occupied by the filler "Free your computer" in the mockups. Any thoughts on this? -- Paul W.
