I need a little help

I want to combine my interests in FS/OSS, art and music and produce some material that can be used by FOSS folk. (See 2 posts below for the brief.)

What I need is some ideas and slogans that I can incorporate into art. I'd aim to publish the artwork with some sort of open license so anyone who wants to use, add to it or disseminate it can do so.

But ... I need a little help from my friends. Software patents is an issue that really gets my goat, but that is hard to sloganify. Maybe you can think of other issue ... a slogan .. a song??

To the tune of 'Tea for Two' : Gnu for Me and Me for Gnu.

Any better ideas?

    Here is one idea - A global FOSS focused event that brings everyone together for a huge outreach is Software Freedom Day, and it could certainly use some artwork to draw people in to the events happening around the world. The day is both a community builder and an outreach for software freedom, and FOSS as a means to a transparent and sustainable digital future.

    Good luck Elizabeth!
