Hi :) Yes, thanks, exactly what i was looking for. There are a lot of great choices in there.
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Marketing/Slogan I particularly liked short ones that had "Liberat...". The word "Libre" is not used in English but many people might recognise "Liberte" and it's easier to find out the meaning. Connecting Libre with Liberte early on is smart. "OpenSource" ties us down to a small niche market. Outside that market we might as well use the term Freeware because people really don't know the difference. Err, until they do understand but by then they have entered that small niche. Within the small niche market people tend to recognise the term "Libre" anyway so really it is just saying the same thing twice. My "fav's", roughly in the order i like them ... 34 "LibreOffice... Freedom never tasted so suite" 58 "LibreOffice... the evolution in office" 70 "LibreOffice... Suite up!" 11 "Liberate Your Life" but tweaked to " "Liberate Your Office"? 01 "LibreOffice, a suite deal." 14 "LibreOffice: your documents, you're in control!" from a StarTrek babe 27 "It's your release." 31 "LibreOffice... Freedom to express, power to inspire" 32 "LibreOffice... Freedom to inspire, power to express" 46 "LibreOffice... Powerful, creative, open" 51 "LibreOffice... Unleash Your Creativity" 57 "LibreOffice... the evolution in office suite" 60 "LibreOffice... Innovation arrived at the office" 61 "LibreOffice... the evolution in documents" I also liked 12 "LibreOffice. Do what you want." / "LibreOffice. Fais ce que tu veux.", "LibreOffice. Realises ce que tu veux." / "LibreOffice. Mach was du willst." / "LibreOffice. Haz lo que quieras." / "LibreOffice. Fai quello che vuoi." <-- David Nelson. Native speakers would derive associations from the words that pass me by completely. The English one is the crucial line in a fairly famous, upbeat and very sexy pop-song from around the 80s? Perhaps we could get permission to play a sample?
