Mel,
I can't attend to this specific meeting as I have a paper to defend for
my degree tomorrow.
About the contents, I am not aware of the final release name, but I've
readed somewhere it was "Goddard" (scientist).
If this is true, I would point for something related to him or his list
of accolades. I'm not sure if this a good choice given the discussion
about NASA moon/mars projects and the recent upcoming news from the
Indian/Japanese space agencies.
Anyway, a quote from Robert Goddard which I consider very nice:
"It is difficult to say what is impossible, for the dream of yesterday
is the hope of today and the reality of tomorrow".
Maybe a mix of that quote highlighting the road that Fedora did and has
ahead. If we can fix such quote to demonstrate the Fedora Project
commitment on Fedora 13, would be a win. If you can point this on the
meeting tomorrow would be great.
Around 21:00 UTC I'm most likely available and I'll drop by.
Thanks in advance,
Nelson

Mel,
I can't attend to this specific meeting as I have a paper to defend for
my degree tomorrow.
As I told last meeting I will not attend. I did not travel Sunday as
expected, but will travel tomorrow.
By the time of the meeting I estimate that I will be sailing downriver
in a crowded boat across a rain forest reserve. Nothing to do with
Fedora. I will be out of reach until Friday.
By the time of next week meeting I estimate I will be just arriving to
Denmark, hopefully already checked in at the hotel. I will be
attending to open source days on March 5th and 6th.
I really hope between those travels I can manage to keep up with the
marketing beat for the Fedora Weekly News, as I just delivery my first
beat this weekend.
Best regards.

Nice quote, Nelson! If you find a place in the marketing materials it
would fit nicely into, that seems like it might make a nice accent.
Maybe one-page release notes? /me thinks out loud
And Neville - *thank you* for the FWN beat! I hope the mosquitos are
staying away. I wonder if Chaitanya (our old beat writer) is still
around - if so, maybe the two of you could spell each other off when
school/work/travel gets busy.

I think it's already noted in some way as a potential slogan on the
release slogan wiki page; if not, we should add it there before the
meeting.

Ah, yep - I see it now.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F13_release_slogan#New_slogan_ideas,
Zoltan put it as "Your dream future is our present reality."
It's hard to shorten "It is difficult to say what is impossible, for the
dream of yesterday is the hope of today and the reality of tomorrow"
without losing something in translation, though.

Sounds like an advert for a shoe brand :)

Tomorrow's reality was yesterday's dream! so what is impossible ?

It might be useful quote if we can trace a parallelism with the FOSS
Drivers ;) I wouldn't probably find a better non-technical way of
placing it.
