My temporary list: Locos : Spanish for "crazy people". After all we are a bunch of crazy people who want to start on such a huge project. ;-) Platypus : As I said earlier because 'OBOS' incorporates ideas of different OSSES into a new system Muchos : Spanish for "Many". Similar philosophy as Platypus BeeOS : If we use the Bee as metaphore for the social, friendly hardworking people (that we are). Dingo(e)s : Because my nick is BeAdingo ;-) Tui: means your or yours in Latin. 'OBOS' is supposed to be your system, from the people for the people! --- Stuart McCoy <stubear@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > My apologies to those who were on IRC Tuesday night. > My ISP, (ATTBI) has > been having problems of late and my internet > connection has been flaky for > the past few days, culminating in a full blown > outage yesterday afternoon > and lasting until sometime this morning apparently. > Hopefully some of you > went ahead and discussed the name for OBOS anyway. > I'll see if I can't find > another time, perhaps Thursday at 8pm EST (is this > time slot cursed?), to > have a discussion about the name. > > Kristoff, > > I forgot to save the log but the just of the > conversation began leaning > towards these few ideas and names. > > 1) Jaffa.
