</div></div>We've tried to make these little slogans into verb phrases, i.e.<br>
persuade people to try Fedora out, do something cool with it. The theme<br>
is not to glorify the Fedora distribution itself, but to assure people<br>
they can accomplish their goals using Fedora, and give them the power to<br>
do it. So I thought of:<br>
<br>
"Fedora 10 - Fire it up." (The metaphor is fire, power, energy.)<br>
<br>
Other slogans I tried out that didn't make my personal, mental cut for<br>
one reason or another:<br>
<br>
* "Shine brightly" (too affected, with the adverb)<br>
<br>
* "Power up" (not very translatable, or comprehensible to many people)<br>
<br>
* "Free. Radical." (not a verb phrase, maybe too politicized a term, and<br>
the wordplay probably doesn't translate)<br>
<br>
* "Be a star." (Oh, gag me.)<br>
