"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?" And for people who like where openSUSE is at, change isn't going to be seen as a good thing. A good motto should elicit a question that starts a conversation.
