When I talk about Free Software, I usually finish up by concluding the many projects out there form the "human technological property/heritage", just like the many monuments, ancient scripts and other cultural elements that form the human history and heritage. Those "bodies of code" will remain available "forever" (whatever that means) and will continue to capture human thoughts and ideas expressed in code for everyone to read and learn.
Perhaps we could have a slogan that reflects that idea? Something like:
"Join Fedora and help shape and preserve the human technological heritage."
Or maybe that gets a bit over the top, heheheh. :)

Not sure. The real heritage here is not whatever broken or outdated software. The real heritage is the *process* and the *spirit* that guide Free Software and Open Source.
Preserving (and fighting and defending) the Freedom to tinker and the Freedom to talk about it is the real heritage. IMHO.
