Just putting this out there for discussion, or not: Is $SLOGAN=NONE still an option? Looking at the distro landscape, it appears that we're the only ones that do it -- and if we're not the only ones doing it, that would affirm my main point that slogans may be so secondary to any distro's release name that they are irrelevant.<br>

Soar sounds too much like stock price stuff IMHO, why not "The F in Freedom"<br>
or "rising by design" "powered by freedom" "Crossing the tipping point"<br>
"More Freedom"<br>
<br>
Ah, #needbeer ;-)<br>

"Rise Up" is at the wiki and I like it. Not sure if we are going to<br>
get problems with <a href="http://riseup.net" target="_blank">riseup.net</a> or <a href="http://riseuplabs.org" target="_blank">riseuplabs.org</a><br>
<br>
"Soar" can be conflicted with <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/soar/" target="_blank">http://sourceforge.net/projects/soar/</a><br>
For me this a minor conflict.<br>
<br>
What about "freedom ascension" ? I am a bit shy to propose as English<br>
is not my first language. Sometimes I feel that I don't fully grasp<br>
the meaning. But again I hate to have matches on google ...<br>
