Personally, I can see more similarities [with the Brexit vote] than I feel comfortable with.
When the topic came up on my first board meeting (in August), the Brexit voting process is an example I used as something to not repeat, indeed. I, too, feel a bit uncomfortable, and I, too, hope that the vote will be "no change of name". I see your point, and Henne's, and at least as importantly the value of an existing brand. To me the potential benefits of changing thename appear moderate in comparison, if not speculative. But let's see.
Of course, there is another difference: if it all comes to the worst and the result of the vote is "change", Board could simply make a popularity contest and choose the name with most votes even if majority of voters (and users) would in fact dislike that name. But that is hardly reassuring...
If it comes to that, constructing the ballot is going to be non-trivial and hugely important. Gerald -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
