Kostas, Quit top posting you should know better. On 12/03/2013 02:42 AM, Kostas Koudaras wrote:

Ok he is my proposal for the motto and also something to give as food for thought for our artists(BTW Andy look at the link below and adapt your 3rd proposal in, should be awesome ;D )

'Growing Stronger' is the moto I would suggest. It is pretty symbolic since we are not exactly changing but actually growing stronger and it is related to Game of Thrones that had many of it's shootings in Dubrovnik. The artwork can be in a medieval way that is the architecture of the City that will host next years oSC. http://media.screened.com/uploads/0/3115/519791-house_tyrell_game_of_thrones...

Let me know your opinion on my proposal Kostas

Based on the discussions going on here and in factory for a new way of doing things

"oSC14 Change"

I like the idea of incorporating "change" and I also like the connections Kostas mentioned. How about: "Growing Stronger Through Change" "The Strength To Change" "Question the status quo, Change!" "Changes for a stronger future" "Changes for a stronger community" "Continuous Change, Growing Stronger" Later, Robert -- Robert Schweikert MAY THE SOURCE BE WITH YOU SUSE-IBM Software Integration Center LINUX Tech Lead Public Cloud Architect rjschwei@suse.com rschweik@ca.ibm.com 781-464-8147 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org

Jos> Me too :D

Change is constant rest is changeable ;)

Let me add a few more options to your list. "oSC14: the change streghts" "oSC14: changing, adapting,growing and improving" "oSC14: continuous improvement and growth" "oSC14: strengths on changing" "oSC14: strengthening using the change" Hope you like it.

"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.

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.
