A few ideas:

  • Advancing the open web
  • Growing the software commons

I do like Web tech for people power though.

"Building the open web" was what i was actually going to fall back on absent coming up with something else, very close to one of @cedewey's. (Pretty sure it's the title of a blog post by Dries Buytaert also but hey it's not like Acquia is going to use it.)

Note this isn't necessarily an official slogan... just the biggest most central and immediate words on our new web site :-P

"Liberating the web" ? :-D

We uh, need an intro paragraph too.

Borrowing from "Build Things People Can Build On" teased in this g0v event announcement something along the lines of "Building Platforms You Can Build On" or just "Building things people can build on" would be cool.

I also still think our differentiator as a company is our combining of the awesome forces of free/libre software and cooperatives.

Ripping off the phrase being used on Drutopia, "Building libre software cooperatively."

None of these are great at explaining to potential clients what we actually offer, but we can address that in the intro paragraph.

or expanding the open web, defending the open web. I really do like using that because it ties back to Agaric and the open web is a big piece to what we're doing.

Richard will not like *lol
Playing off of Clayton's remark: "I also still think our differentiator as a company is our combining of the awesome forces of free/libre software and cooperatives."

How about something like this - "building cooperatively online"
or
"cooperative web development for your platform"

I also really like Web tech for people power
