Re: Goddard
Hy,
I am supposing Goddard (after the scientist).
You may also take a look at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_13_Alpha_release_notes for more
infos...
Is there a possibility that on the Release Notes (1st page) we can
enter a small caption with a small text (2 or 3 lines, possible photo?)
about who is Goddard?
-1 from me on that, because in my opinion if we let that text and
explenations away it encourages the imagination of the user to think
about it. Everyboday have a different point of view (freedom of thoughts).
Goals:
# Provide the audience a small background that justifies why we chosed
Goddard (reinforce the idea that we don't select dumb things for our
names, and that we promote in this case Technology).
Thats part of https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Name_suggestions_for_Fedora_13
# Provide a small quote of Goddard:
"It is difficult to say what is impossible, for the dream of yesterday
is the hope of today and the reality of tomorrow." as an introductory
theme to our Release Highlights after the Official Release moto.
+1
That could be imho a thing for the CD/DVD cover to put on some quote or
a small Textbanner ...
# Sharing some culture with the universe.
And finally my suggestion for the Release moto: "F13, delivering the
future today".
You can put that on to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F13_release_slogan
yourself. Maybe you have more ideas, then you can write them also down.
PS: Concerns: The space exploration (in this case a rocket engineer) is
being highlighted in the media a lot. I am not aware of possible
cultural problems that might arise from here with anti-american
feelings. Though I believe we're not providing free ammunition to be
used against us, it's always a feeling of concern when addressing to
international (or minorites) audiences.
And also therefor my opinion is to leave the minds open.
You can also have a look at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F13_Artwork
to have in mind in wich direction the theme(s) will go.
