The slogan for it could be: "Fedora: Infinite Boundaries"
Freedom, community, and infinity are the three basic concepts that are
represented in the Fedora logo. The basic concept for this theme is that
Fedora, as the leading Linux distro, is always pushing the boundaries of
technology. Because we're always pushing forward, we're always glimpsing
into the infinite.
See the full proposal at:

I'll have to think more about it and maybe experiment with some graphics
for more constructive feedback, but here are a few quick thoughts.
I like the idea, "Infinite Boundaries" is a good concept.
The "Perspective" concept is the one I like the most. I can't decide if
I like better the structures (they are human-made, just like Fedora and
at the same time they aspire to Infinity) or if I like better the trees
(as nature is always refreshing and put us in touch with our humanity).
The "Ocean" concept is something "tried and true", you can't go wrong
with a beautiful ocean picture. But at the same time, this is an
over-used concept, so I think I would prefer something more original.
Maybe we can find an original take of the "ocean" concept? The shore
line saying something? Or the waves with a shape saying something?
The "Repetition" concept is intriguing, it may give us some interesting
results, but also the images here are the most busy, loaded with small
details, which is not good for a background.
On a sideline: probably some such repetitive graphics will *not* work in
certain places (Anaconda banner).
But is hard to argue about repetition by itself, some kind of repetition
is found in the tree photo from "Perspective" and I like that.
Your intention is to have those as photos, as vector or as photo
manipulations? (you linked to a few photo manipulations on flickr)
About Ignacio's complaint about vertigo: I think it can be avoided by
careful choice in colors, without very contrasting areas, but we have to
try.
