F13 slogan announcement -- break up

[Robyn Bergeron]

Also - are we using it the slogan in the form of an exclamation ("rock
it!") or a statement ("rock it.")?  I had envisioned it as more of a
statement - but it's certainly open to group thoughts, and we should
probably clarify which way to use it. Not necessarily in the
announcement email, but probably to those groups most likely to be
incorporating it into materials - ambassadors, design, marketing,
etc., as well as clarifying on the wiki.
