The F13 slogan has been chosen.
The slogan for F13 is "Rock It."

Ground rules

Please read this.
Suggestions which don't follow these guidelines are far less likely to be considered.
  • The slogan should be short, 1-3 words.
  • The slogan should be an active sentence, like a command:
    • F8: Go higher
    • F9: Make waves
    • F10: Fire it up
    • F11: Reign
    • F12: Unite
  • The slogan should be positive, and reflect the idea that Fedora helps the user achieve something great.
  • The slogan should reflect one or more of the themes from the #Artwork created by the Artwork team for this release.
  • It's more important to fit the artwork theme than the four foundations shown in the #Keywords section below.
