Hi,
The wide masses did not care for the lowercase O for years now. And they won't care it's successor. Plus: changing the O still leaves us with "OpenSuSe", "OpenSuse" and "Open Suse" - or even "Open S.u.S.e".
Following that I want to give you a very recent example.
German "Linux Magazin" covered the name change voting today and mention the wrong spelling issues as well; => https://www.linux-magazin.de/news/opensuse-stellt-namenswechsel-zur-wahl/
(German: "Außerdem werde der Namen oft falsch geschrieben." = English: "In addition, the name is often misspelled.")
I talked to a well known heise news author about the issue and he told me: "you know what? We just don't care anymore. We write OpenSUSE and be done. Who knows when they'll change the spelling again. It's not like our readers would not understand what we are writing about" I can relate to this somehow.
I don't want to blame or shame them anyhow. It just emphasizes the spelling problems "openSUSE" has and will have in the future without changing the name. The problem is, we cannot change the name every time someone misspells it ;-)
How about this: we just don't make a big fuzz about it and go on with more important things? -- Stefan Seyfried "For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled." -- Richard Feynman -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
