Stickers for OSGeo

[Tyler Mitchell (OSGeo)]

On a recent trip to the UK I was pleasantly surprised to see at least 3
different people sporting OSGeo stickers on their laptops.  After having
a brain freeze, wondering where they got them from, I remember I sent
out a few samples I had done up a while back.  They weren't even that
good, but it was great to see and I believe more people would like to
have them for expressing their community interest, or to subversively
cover up other logos ;-)

That said, I'd like some ideas or input for slogans for stickers.  I see
two target groups: 1) OSGeo member "pride" stickers (for expressing that
they support OSGeo projects, or use them.. as conversation starters,
etc.) and
2) for more direct outreach with a bit more of a message.

Maybe they are both the same, but I was picturing the "Intel Inside"
tiny sticker size with only 2 short words, like we see on our PCs, plus
a larger one that has a slightly longer message - like fridge magnet size.

I've a list of ideas from our designer, but curious also what you might
come up with.  Some that I'm leaning toward:

OSGeo Core (short)
OSGeo Power (short)
OSGeo Powered
Built on OSGeo
Grow with OSGeo
OSGeo: Manage Earth

Other comments?  I'll have to make a decision soon, so early comments
appreciated :)

Best wishes,
Tyler

I think that the "Linux Inside" concept doesn't work as well for OSGeo,
because OSGeo sits a level above the Operating System, and is not the
only thing running on an a computer using OSGeo software.

Thinking about what OSGeo means (to me):
* Community
* Quality
* Open Source
* Standards
* Open Source Geospatial Stack

Focusing on community we can come up with:
* "OSGeo Tribe"
* "OSGeo Clan - Australian tribe"
* "OSGeo Clan - OpenLayers tribe"
