I vote for B.
Since the words 'openSUSE Build Service' are already all over the *.opensuse.org sites, we have to replace *ALL* of them with 'Open Build Service' if we change the name.
So, I'd like to ask you, who will vote for A: Are you willing to replace the words 'openSUSE Build Service' which are already on whole *.opensuse.org sites with 'Open Build Service' responsibly?
If the answer is 'No, someone except me should do.', I'm sorry to say you are an irresponsible person. Only if the answer is 'Yes, I'll volunteer to do so.', the option A would be a compelling opinion.
Best,
That's a valid concern. And I just poked someone in the wiki team to ask how difficult this challenge would be. From a technical standpoint, it's not that difficult to install an extension from mediawiki to do mass edits. At the very least, we could produce a list of all pages that have that string and a group of us volunteer to go through pages one-by-one to clean it up. Obviously this only applies to pages where the full "openSUSE Build Service" string exists. Those where OBS is only used, no need to worry.
So... I'm volunteering to jump on on the cleanup effort if that's what is eventually decided upon.
I remind you all that again, we are only voting on a recommendation to give to the OBS team. We're not actually making a decision here.
Thanks, Bryen
Assuming everyone who didn't reply doesn't have a strong opinion or isn't that interested, the conclusion is that we go for option A: Open Build Service. Bryen has offered to make sure it all looks good in the wiki and other pages. So, Bryen or Helen - which one of you communicates this to the OBS people, tell them the marketing team recommends a name change to Open Build Service and will take care of the renaming work on the websites?
