Hi listmates !
We have a very good motto "Have a lot of fun !" for the project & community and of course I like it very much. However, I came up with an idea: "Why don't we have another *yearly* slogan or catch-phrase for openSUSE community ?"
I'm one of the supporters of Urawa Red Diamonds, which is a famous football(soccer) club in Japan. The club has a yearly slogan every year, for example:
"Go foward, Hands in Hands !" <- last year "Devotion to Urawa" <- this year
If we replace Urawa with openSUSE - "Devotion to openSUSE" - don't you think that can be a slogan for us, people who love and contribute to openSUSE ? So, I want offer my draft.
- Every year-end, we make a contest for the next year's openSUSE community catch-phrase.
- Phase 1: Subscription - first half of December
Community members can nominate their candidate for the next year's catch-phrase.
- Phase 2: Election - second half of December
Community members can vote for their most favorite catch-phrase from among candidates.
- Phase 3: Result presentation and award - End of the year
Election winner will be announced and the auther will be given an award.
- The yearly catch-phrase can be used by any community members for community activities, for example, posters, banners, T-shirts, stickers, etc.
I think this contest would be very easy to participate for every community members and therefore be fairly useful to unify all community members.
The procedure is similar in the one for YaST mascot contest we had last year, but we need an election system for this contest and I don't have a good idea for that. However, I hope some of you are interested in this idea and offer solutions for it.
We have a voting system which is quite flexible and was created my Marko for the board elections: https://users.opensuse.org/elections/2/result Greetings -- Thomas Schmidt (tschmidt [at] suse.de) SUSE Linux Products GmbH :: Research & Development :: Tools "Wer die Vergangenheit kontrolliert, kontrolliert die Zukunft.
