Hye,

It's just an idea but to keep Goblin isn't logical. I can agree with
your point. So there are two options, find a new name as it was done
with Goblin or to follow a more consensual way like Novell did with
SUSE Moblin and make a ***openSUSE MeeGo*** as there will probably be
a SUSE MeeGo (if they keep the same logic). There could be also
trademark issue with MeeGo (and also Geemo).

Regards,

Djan
