"oSC14 Change"
I like change, but I'm not sure that it reflects what we're going to do at oSC. And the oSC motto and theme always reflected what we did:
* oSC11 Motto: RWX³. Everyone is able to do everything. We emphasize doing things together instead of just talking. Theme: Retro, Old Factory
* oSC12 Motto: Bootstrapping Awesome. We emphasized bootstrapping a new Linux event in the Czech republic. Theme: Urban, Big City, Prague monuments
* oSC13 Motto: Power to the Geeko. We emphasized that this is the first oSC organized exclusively by us. Theme: Ancient Greece, Mediterranean
This is exactly the sort of thing I'm asking about for oSC14 - and I agree that while change is often a good thing, the motto needs to reflect what oSC14 is about rather than just be some words.
Coming up with the motto before the theme is a bit of "cart before the horse" IMHO. My first reaction to a motto that emphasizes change is "so what's going to be different? What's changing, and why?"
Well I suspect that the changes we are currently talking about on -project and -factory will still be very current by the time we meet in April. These changes also provide a lot of opportunity for talks at oSC as I suspect we will be somewhere in a transition in the distribution by the end of April.
