Re: We need a name for the NFP entity that we're changing to: add your idea/vote!
 

This poll lacks a "none of the above" option.

The same can be achieved by simply not voting :o

The Poll is active now, sorry for the horrid delay, 12hrs later than I'd hoped (so busy IRL).
I have set the poll such that you can vote for more than one name...
Ideally though, try to vote for only for 1, 2, or 3 of your favourite names.
I was going to set a limit for it to auto-close, but I wasn't sure when the best time for that would be.
So instead I opted to keep it open indefinitely....

Apologies if I've missed any names, I combed the thread carefully & am sure I spotted most.
It would be good if we could continue to get positives/negatives for the current contenders.
Or maybe better summaries than I currently have for each of them. I'll then add that info. to the OP.
As stated in the OP, once you've voted also share what your preferences were & why.
This is by no means mandatory though, if you prefer to remain anonymous that's fine.

Not the same thing at all, sorry. Unless you consider t.m.o. membership (64555) - current voters (1) to be an accurate count of how many people dislike all the options offered.

Anyway, I can approximate that result by placing a single vote for an option that has no chance of getting chosen as it conflicts with another established foundation.

Oh ha.. ha... :rolleyes:
Rather than the smart-*** remark*, what (IYO) is a better name for this entity than those?

*unless it was merely an attempt at light-hearted humour, in which case I retract my jab

No idea. Up to a couple of hours ago I would have gone with Hildon, but that's out now. I do dislike all of the others though.

Re: We need a name for the NFP entity that we're changing to: add your vote(s)!
 

As with 1 of the aeolos variations, it's far from a total given that it's "out", just because there happens to be another foundation with that name, but it's likely you knew that ;)
If it turns out some of the names REALLY aren't usable, then we can move to the most popular of what's left, or drop the ones that can't be used & add some new ones, & you make you suggestion then.

Re: We need a name for the NFP entity that we're changing to: add your vote(s)!
 

Seeing all the disaagrements I ponder why we cannot continue on using maemo.org .

After all, there is some precedent: OpenOffice.org must be called OpenOffice.org because someone else had the OpenOffice (that is, without the .org) trademark. So I presume that even if Nokia keeps the Maemo trademark, maemo.org might still be used.

But IANAL and TL;DR.

damn, did not know about the hildon foundation, nice find.

SD69 is supposedly a lawyer, maybe he/she knows the answer WRT that....
Personally though, for a community which going forward is about MeeGo, MeR, & possibly NiTDroid derivatives just as much as Maemo, I dont see how maemo.org is as suitable as some of the other suggestions for foundation name.
