Motto discussion

From OSGeo
Jump to navigation Jump to search

We need a slogan/motto to go along with the new logo. There will need to be several different ways of using, so we will likely need a few different ones. We'll need something to follow after the shorter "OSGeo" nickname. And also something to follow the longer title: "Open Source Geospatial Foundation". See if you can avoid any words already in the title.

Please submit your possible mottos here:

  1. Your Open Source Compass (was part of Aaron's logo submission)
  2. Compass to the Open Source GeoSpatial World (building on above)
  3. "It's a spheroid, get over it."
