IMO we should vote on the re-branding as a "package" first and then decide what to do.
I consider the logo and the name as different issues, as we can:
* change nothing * change the logo * change the logo and the project name
I agree - I see the logo and project name discussions are somewhat separate. I think we can do nothing, we can change the logo without changing the name, and if we change the name we will absolutely need to change change the logo So I'm favouring discussing the name change first, we can work back from there :)
But if we decide for a full rename, do we have a time-table about how much time do we have for the transition?
With all things surrounding the Foundation concept, there is no deadlines or formal timepressure from any party.
Renaming all domains, OBS projects and metadata, the github namespace, the multiple review bots, osc, IRC channels, packages trademarks, etc, etc is not something that we can do without a very long transition period.
Actually, I am not sure that this is something feasible.
If we change the name, I'd expect the "<insert name here> Foundation" would have some agreement with SUSE to continue using the openSUSE Marks for the purposes of a smooth transition. This is the kind of decision that may take weeks or months to agree upon, but could take years to fully implement - and as far as I can see at the moment, I don't think there would be any problem with that for any of the parties involved. :) Unlike other Open Source project renamings we're not considering anything hard, brutal, or urgent.. I think we have the luxury of being able to take the time to do it right. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
