But I do think this example illustrates some of the factors we need to consider on this topic besides the emotive "but we like the current name" feeling :)
I'd suggest to start thinking about a name change for the project (not the foundation!, the foundation can be named whatever you want) once reports of such progress hindering events that happened to impact the future of the project because it was still named "openSUSE" have been seen in reality.
Right now that feels to me like (lots of) "Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt".
And the more I read of it, the more I think "no fscking way am I going to support a name change".

I understand your point of view. Hopefully you can understand that there is no way I will ever share the past examples of sponsorships, service arrangements, or other contracts that have already fallen apart due to the current "SUSE is not openSUSE" discrepancy, which will be no different if we have a "FOOFoundation is not openSUSE" discrepancy. Our conference organisers, other Board members, and myself, are not imagining this problem. We've all seen it. But we cant really do more than talk about it at a high level and ask you all to trust us..as the alternative would involve throwing sympathetic organisations who wanted to work closer with openSUSE under a bus by naming and shaming them. And that would be rather impolite ;) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
