Ground rules

Please read this.
Suggestions which don't follow these guidelines are far less likely to be considered.

• The slogan should be short.
• The slogan should be an active sentence, like a command.
  • F8: Go higher.
  • F9: Make waves.
  • F10: Fire it up.
• The slogan should reflect one or more of the themes from the artwork created by the Artwork team for this release. Check out the art here. It's more important to fit the artwork theme than the four foundations shown in the #Keywords section below.
• The slogan should be positive, and reflect the idea that Fedora helps the user achieve something great.

Slogan	Submitter	Notes
"Leonidas; primus inter paris"	Gerold	Latin the language and home of Leoniday with a nice message like king of the kings
"Feline."	shanix
"Reign of Empowerment."	jasonbrown17	Goes along with the new slogan of the logo, "Empowered by Fedora."
"Be king."		Lion is king of the jungle and beasts. Fedora is king of distros!
"Run proudly."		Elicits feeling of running free, plus uses "proud" like a lion ("pride of lions"!).
"Put your roar on."		More than two words, but very evocative. Lions roar, and so can Fedora users. Roaring can also mean speed and power.
"Ferocious."		Not a verb phrase, but it has alliteration. Possible negative: might be poorly translated as "mean" instead of the connotation of "powerful, unafraid."

Obsolete ideas

These ideas came out of the original "Greek landscape" artwork. Some are still viable but most of these do not follow the ground rules.

Slogan	Submitter	Notes or reasoning
"Rev the Revolution"	coolg5	With a whole slew of wide changes in the release, the slogan seems apt.
"Features Reloaded"	RangeenBasuRoyChowdhury	Just like the Matrix Reloaded. Sounds really catchy. Though I am not sure whether we can use the idea as Matrix Reloaded must be patented
"Move mountains."	Paul W. Frields	Mountains appear in the theme. To move mountains is to do something powerful and great. This slogan is here to provide an example, if nothing else.
"Fedora - Friends of Freedom or alternative - Freedom to Innovate"	Rahul Sundaram	"Greeks are known for their unique culture but also their work as a team. We Fedora folks are also community oriented and freedom combined. The first slogin emphasizes the community aspect a bit more. The second slogan is because of the enormous amount of new features in Fedora
"Freedom, come and take it."	Pierros Papadeas	"Come and take them" is a famous spartan saying, combined with one of the 4F. Also "Come and take it" should be considered as an viable alternative.
"Picture perfect."	Ian Weller	haha you think I have reason. ;) Mostly inspired just from the F11 artwork that's being worked on.
"Freedom and Power"	Ben Lambrechts	Maybe it is better the other way: Power and freedom.
"Freedom Akademia"	Ewan Luca	Plato's Akademia was a place for informal meetings of free thinkers witch became, by the power of knowledge, a well known and respected institution. Now, an academy holds the pinnacle of achievement in the respective field(s). If the slogan need a verb could be "Grow with Freedom Akademia", "Succeed in Freedom Akademia", "Get endowed by ...", "Empower yourself in ..." - many of the attendants of Plato's Akademia went on to became politicians and leaders using skills and tools acquired there (rethorics, logic, etc)
"Come get some"	moixs	Ok, this is a reference to Duke Nukem 3D, could be from the movie 300 too. This could also mean come get some Fedora DVDs, this tasty software :)
"All Paths lead to Fedora"	Binod Chandran	Modified from "All Roads lead to Rome".Changed "roads" to "paths" to relate with web paths
"A Tradition of Freedom" alternate: "Keep the tradition of Freedom" (or "a tradition")	Nicu Buculei	We are going with some traditional Ancient Greek cultural symbols, Greece was known for its democratic/freedom roots, we have at Fedora a tradition of Freedom.
"Goes to 11" / "Turn it up to 11."	Michael DeHaan	Spinal Tap. Enough said. Pretend it is about our Feature Knob. We should make a nice graphic for this with the knob of a Marshall-esque amplifier turned to 11 with a Fedora logo on it. electric knobs (cc-by-sa)
"Fedora 11 : Freedom from heaven."	Kostas Antonakoglou	Well, eleven rhymes with heaven. Also, it is inspired from the theme (green field etc). My suggestion is an example, it could be expressed in many ways...
"Freedom continues."	Michelle Thompson	Freedom continues over time (comparing ancient times to now), and freedom is one of the key words, and I can imagine that the artwork symbolizes both freedom (open spaces, etc.) and continues (the mountains, sky, etc. don't just end after the artwork; they themselves continue). BONUS possibility for some visual play (depending on the font / image used): F 1 1 Freedom Continues
"Fedora 11 : A Code of Freedom" / "Fedora 11 : A dream come Freedom" / "Fedora 11 : First Friends of Freedom"	Jose Damian Garrido
"Fedora 11 : Function follows Freedom."	Yannik Stadelmaier	According to the phrase "form follows function".
"Fedora 11 : Join the free nation."	Edney Matias	From the 300...modified indeed.
"Fedora 11 : Spread it."	Mostafa Daneshvar	The verb 'spread' can be used with our Foundations meaningfully
"Strength through Freedom"	Ben Lambrechts
"Fedora 11: Keep on running!"	Yannik Stadelmaier	According to Leonidas the athletic
"Fedora 11: Inspiring Freedom"	Tiago Vieira	"Everything that is really great and inspiring is created by the individual who can labor in freedom." Albert Einstein.
"The story never ends - first friends features freedom"	Gerold Kassube	New counts, more than 10; and we are first friends with freedom and features or we are features of freedom and were friends first
"Blue does matter"	Gerold Kassube	The color is the difference of everything and the color is a reason (stolen from Godzilla which was in the US Size does matter)
"think different - be Fedora"	Gerold Kassube	we're all thinking and acting in a different way, in new ways, in the Fedora way
"Fedora - History is yesterday"	Gerold Kassube	"Fedora - today we ride the history of tomorrow"
"Win the Freedom Olympics"	Ewan Luca
"strength through freedom"	Bert Desmet
"Follow the Lion of Freedom"	Ben Lambrechts	Because I like the King Concept of Samuele Storari
"The secret of happiness is freedom. Fedora is freedom ! " / "Learn the Features of happiness are Freedom, and the First Friends of Freedom are courage."	Kevin Higgins	Because I like the Thucydides quote (Ancient Greek historians and author, 460-404bc) “The secret of happiness is freedom. The secret of freedom is courage.” My Father who uses Fedora since F4 came up with the Shorter slogan.

Old themes

• If the Greek temple stays in the background, note that it provides some thematic element:
  • Greece was the birthplace of democracy.
  • Philosophers, great thinkers
  • Platonic forms? Socratic dialogue? Euclidean geometry?
• Landscape
  • Mountains
  • Wide open sky
  • Birds -- The birds may disappear, don't rely on them.
