Pursuant to Richard and Robert's talk at oSC 2024:

This is a topic that needs to be discussed as a community, especially as it's currently a request from SUSE.
I do want to be clear, this message is me posting as "Community Member SFalken" not "openSUSE Board Member SFalken"
Myself, I'm in favour of "rebranding" the community project, and making it clear that openSUSE != SUSE. Far too much of the time in our support channels is spent clearing up these misconceptions, where new users (and even some experienced users), are saying things like "SUSE Should do $x" or "Why doesn't SUSE do $x?".
I'm less certain that I agree with Richards proposal of the individual projects sort of "go their own way", at least as he's laid it out, but again, this is absolutely a topic that deserves consideration.
Thoughts?
Try to get the rights for the chameleon logo from SUSE and call it Geeko Linux. The chameleon is the most recognizable part of openSUSE and without, the connection and origin of any new distribution might not be obvious.
