[Design-team] Call for F13 release slogan suggestions

[Paul W. Frields]

It's true, and we've considered that as part of our SOP:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Release_slogan_SOP#Choose_a_release_slogan

We allow translators to find what they consider the best fit for their
locale, even if it departs somewhat from the en-US usage.  It's simply
impossible to do equal translations of a good slogan everywhere, as
every single corporation in the world as found. :-)
