The point is, also the OBS developer team is not free to decide (I hope this became clear in earlier mails). OBS is a SUSE/Novell product in first place, used also by openSUSE.
I am also personal interessted in a name change, but I can't decide this on my own as well. It would be good in any case if would not start on changing the web pages like suggested in the mail before.

Then there is some serious confusion here. We have always been told that OBS was a part of the openSUSE Project. And the name openSUSE Build Service lends to that belief that it is under the openSUSE umbrella, rather than being called the SUSE Build Service. If that is not the case, then we have been seriously misled here for a very long time. So now... I'm concerned that we've been told this is an openSUSE project, we've been marketing it as such, we've been actively talking to the FOSS community as such and it turns out it doesn't belong to us. By comparison, the SUSE Studio product has always been clearly stated as not being part of the openSUSE Project umbrella and we acted accordingly recognizing the marketing efforts to be a partnership, not a domain of openSUSE. So, I'm at a loss now with this sudden change of what's been said to us for at least the past year repeatedly being wrong. Maybe we need to pull back on marketing until we can get further clarification that this is indeed true and if so, why we were misled for the past year.
