Slogan for Drupal Guilds?

Hmmm... or maybe that's "Gutta Magister"? Google Translate offers both. Anyone know Latin?

Maybe along with the 'don't hack core' snake from Drupaldelphia?

Either way, I'm printing that on the "Join the Guild" t-shirts I plan on printing for drupalcon... ;-)

I think that originally, I was more after something like "To Master the Drop", which might be something like "Gutta Periti". However, after this discussion, I'm personally leaning towards "Gutta Magistri" for the motto. Not sure if 'Heroes of the Drop' would have the same connotation. And I can't wait to see the shirts!

I'm thinking Esperanto might be more relevant... Just saying!

My suggestion for "guttae heroes" was intended as a jokey pun on "guitar heroes," but really I agree with Greg. I don't see much point to using a Latin motto. I don't think most people will understand it or bother to figure out what it means, and if the guild is going to have a motto, it ought to serve the purpose of communicating something to people right away.

a suggestion = Drupal Veritas
English translation = Drupal Truth

I agree with the comments about avoiding latin and keeping it in English and whilst I like the "Masters of the Drop" slogan I am concerned that this might be a bit of an insider's joke and not effectively communicate to certain interested parties. My thoughts are that the slogan for the guild is likely to be communicating the guilds' ethos or raison d'etre to these distinct groups:
-Members of the guild
-Potential members existing drupalistas
-Potential developers of drupal
-Clients or potential clients of guild members

While the first two groups would get the "drop" reference it is likely to miss the mark with the other two groups.

I also agree the slogan does not need to include Drupal in it and I like the reference to truth or trust. My slogan suggestions would be to fuse the above two concepts in some way maybe as follows:
"Truth Amongst Masters" or "Trust Among Masters" or something similar.

Just my 2 pennies,

"Artificis Guttulae" - Creators of the Little Drops

People always ask me if my Ivy League Classics degree has had any benefit, and here is a prime example.

artifex -ficis m. As adj.: act. , [skilled, clever]; pass., [skillfully made]. As subst., [worker, craftsman, maker, creator, expert].

gutta -ae f. [a drop; a spot or mark].

guttatim [drop by drop].

guttula -ae f. [a little drop].

"Community Plumbers" repeats the oft-cited and reviled slogan

makes me think of toilets - but a rabbi said a mohel might have a completely different interpretation
