Everyone seams to know what it means (because many like it) but I just don't get it. I like the fist one the most. But it could have been a little less signs. It gives the impression of beeing confusing instead of diverse. Sorry for saying this but I don’t get the last one.

The mix of extremely good taglines like in the second image and tongue-in-cheek insider jokes like the third is just great :) I just came home from LinuxTag where we had some prints of the "what does KDE mean to you" series of images on the wall of our booth. You wouldn't believe how many people asked whether they could buy a copy. We couldn't really do that, so I pointed them to the picasa album and told them they could get the images from there. It would be great to have these images hosted on a more "official" place like kde.org and maybe even to offer poster-sized version of them along with other KDE merchandise. Getting approval for such a move wouldn't be hard since the general reaction to your images ranges from "wow!" to "brilliant! genius! this will replace the Mona Lisa at the Louvre!" :) Brilliant!

Previous sucessfull campaign of Firefox springs to mind. If no plan exists yet, now would be a great time to do something for the 4.1 release. I'm sure KDE and its sponsors can afford to buy some web banners. Lots of web banners ? Newspapers ? Street posters ? 10-minutes clip during the superbowl ?

I really thing that "Be free" really gives you good idea of what KDE stands for. Thanks to all the developers for making such an amazing DE, and thank you for providing this wonderful images. For me KDE being free means two things:

1.- It is free software and has a real commitment to open file formats and standards, and therefore makes the free software world stronger.

2.- It gives you absolute freedom to use the computer the way you want, without being afraid of breaking old paradigms and try new ways.

I really thing that “Be free” really gives you good idea of what KDE stands for.
