Thanks to all of you for your great input for an openSUSE slogan.
So that everybody can participate to vote the best slogan, we created a wiki-voting page: http://en.opensuse.org/Election:OpenSUSE_Slogan
Provided that there is nothing said against it, we pre-selected the 10 best slogan also based on your input. We will facilitate the voting until next Friday, 27/04 and than reward the best slogan.
Again many thanks for your participation.
To be honest I think the ones selected are pretty poor. Needless to say there were many spectacularly bad ones in the proposal ;-), but I'm not sure why these were picked. The current winner -- "Linux for open minds" -- really doesn't add anything much new to openSUSE as a Linux flavour, as Linux is open. It only really makes sense if you're coming from SLE or something. Why was the old quasi-motto -- 'The world's most usable Linux' -- not in the running? New users care about whether they're going to be able to actually use it, since thinking of trying it out for the first time can be daunting for some users. If that isn't our motto, I think it should definitely be something similar. Someone new to Linux won't make much of a motto that talks about openess, really, and if they do, it's because they already know that Linux is about free software/open source.
