Maybe "Experience FREEDOM"
I've been toying with other ideas like "Free Trade needs Free Software" or
"Open Source in an Open Market" but worry that being political might
alienate or sound preachy. I'm trying to remember that it's about getting
KDE on desktops worldwide and not changing politics in the US :) Still,
politics is coloring everything I do think or say at the moment.
