I think the decision is up to the promotion and organization teams. Those that feel strongly about things like this can and could have signed up to help. I think taking the step to solicit feedback on the list is great, but I see no reason to put this up for a vote.
It might be useful to post what we have so far to the -project list and get more feedback there. Then next week during the oSC team meeting a decision can be reached and that's what we will run with.

I agree. It is not an absolute necessity to put it to a general community vote. People who see oSC will know it is the people who organized it that decided and planned around it. The deciding theme/motto is a symptom of the vision that the team creates. I think essentially what happened here is that a page was taken out of the Summit's name-voting process. But even then, the list of names to vote on was based on a clearly defined goal of the event. And as I did not want to be seen as the dictator/decider of the name, we put it up to a vote. But only those names that reflected the goal were in the list. Here, you have a larger team, therefore no need to put it to an outside vote. Just be clear to define the goal before you come up with theme/motto. Ask yourself first and foremost: WHY are we having this oSC? WHY is it important this year? WHAT do we intend to achieve this year? Once you answer those three... the theme/motto will literally fall into your laps. :-) Bryen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-conference+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-conference+owner@opensuse.org
