Hubbard" Sender: owner-freebsd-chat@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I'm sure I don't need to tell most of you that this little slogan of ours has become outmoded, especially in light of the fact that we seem to be targeting (and best at) the network server market, not the workstation market, with FreeBSD. With that in mind, I'd like to solicit suggestions for a new one, one which will also be added to the new "advertising banner" that I'm having done for the likes of Yahoo and UGU, who use it in their rotational adverts (do a net search for "linux" on yahoo sometime and you'll see it there :-), and to the picture at the top of www.freebsd.org. Also, even though I really do like some of the slogans I've seen like "In a world without fences, who needs Gates?", I think we should probably stay a lot less political than that with our "flagship" slogan and people can reserve the political ones for their .signatures. ;-) The winner of this informal little "slogan contest" will also win a free FreeBSD CD subscription from Walnut Creek CDROM and a FreeBSD T-shirt (and if they already have a subscription, two T-shirts could probably be arranged :). Did I also mention that we're bringing the T-shirts back? We are, but let's not get off topic on that, the topic here is a new slogan! :) Jordan
