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.

tell them the marketing team recommends a name change to Open Build Service 
and will take care of the renaming work on the websites?
