Subject: collected NetBSD slogan competition


The slogan thread has been so successful that a NetBSD slogan / logo
competition for 1.4 (say for some alpha, sparc hardware etc),
advertised on slashdot (with the replies forming part of a slashdot
thread) would be *fanstatic* publicity. I have some spare sparc
hardware, but equipment donations from North America would be better
placed. Thoughts?

  NetBSD: The Power of Code
  NetBSD long theme: "Eat a queer fetus for Jesus, and run NetBSD!"
  NetBSD short theme, for stickers and tattoos: NetBSD... Bitchin'!
  NetBSD logo: Kiss-painted (w/tongue) Beastie stabbing a pitchfork through a
	 bloodied and obviously-in-horrible-pain Tux.
  NetBSD home page: Ultra-heavy use of blink text, hot colours, and Flash plug-
	 ins. All shockwave, all the time. Background music ought to be a
	 mixture of Phillip Glass overlaid on top of Sublime.
