Hello Paul.
Regarding the 4 foundations, maybe they should be better exposed in the
Wiki. Just ran a quick search of the Wiki for a mixed variations of the
words "4 foundations", "four foundations" and "foundations"
and of all
results I couldn't get one which linked to the main article explaining
those. Also it may be a good idea to advertise them in the font page for
the Wiki, since they're the basic idea upon which Fedora ideals and
values revolve. Maybe this has already been done and I simply didn't
browse or search the *right* places. I wanted to do see an explanation
for them as it may better aid with translations other than "Freedom =
Libertad", "Friendship = Amistad", etc, but putting the full reasoning
behind the words, just like it was the case when these words were chosen
to be the foundations ;-)
I appologize to reply to this thread here instead of addressing this on
a more appropriate channel (Marketing?)
This is a good point! I did a search for "infinity freedom voice" and
also got no page saying those are official slogans. :-\
This really needs a page on the wiki, like Marketing/Slogans.
Unfortunately I'm stranded at a hotel where the network is horrible.
(The search I just did? Took 7.5 minutes, whereas it normally takes
only a few seconds.) I'm forwarding this to f-marketing-l where we can
mark it as an action item in our next meeting.
