Unfortunately, that's the Plan B slogan that was not approved.

We should come up with a plan to deal with this -- it's far from
catastrophic, just something we need to discuss and then execute.  We
have a couple options, it seems to me:

(1) Go back to the drawing board.  At the public Marketing meeting[1]
there weren't any other slogans in the proposal list that generated
enthusiastic response.  So we could try to come up with one or more
here, and try again with Legal.

(2) Put aside the slogan for F14, and use whatever space we reserve
for the release-specific slogan to instead reinforce (for example) the
4 Foundations.

We can probably have a separate discussion about the long-term value
of a release-specific slogan, and whether we feel it's worthwhile to
continue that practice.  For now, let's concentrate on what to do for
F14 specifically.  Which of the above options do people feel has the
most value right now?

I will go with 1 if there is marketing manpower.
I am not sure how response has been, but if after a call for team up
and solve this there is no more people... then we should move to
option 2.

Tempe may be a good time to chat about the practice and value of a
slogan for each realease.

Best regards
