Aeolos is reasonable - it ties into the "wind name" theme that ran through the internet tablets and phones.
However, I don't get the contention that Hildon is elitist in some way. (On a side note, what's wrong with "elite"? But I digress.) Hildon actually refers to something that underlay the tablets and, at least, the N900 (not so sure how much survived in the N9.) It also lay beneath the S90 of the 7710 and may even have formed the basis of the 9500 Communicator UI. There's history there, functionality there, demonstrated flexibility there. Real software created by real, and very creative, people. And any of us who had one (or more likely more - I've owned 5) of the devices supported by it got real value from it. So, while I recognize Aeolos is applicable, it is abstract as has been pointed out. Hildon was and is real and much more a part of this suite of devices than the mythology. Just my thoughts. |

I understand where you are coming from but then those with the N9 will push for Harmattan to get a mention...IMO at this time when we need everyone united using Hildon/Harmattan or whatever that may cause divisiveness within the community is not advisable...My 2cents...Also especially after the council awards etc it has been laid bare quite obviously the friction that appears when the "old" and the "new" collide... |

In fact I wrote Aeolos before reading the wikipedia article. In Greek it's spelled Αίολος which would become Eolos by the standard Greek-Latin alphabet tranliteration.
I just thought Aeolos looks better and has the ae from maemo. Aeolus is the latin 'version' of the name (Latin names usually ended in -us, while Greek names end in -os) By the way I secured the aeolosfoundation.org domain name just to be sure. |

^Is aeolos.org still free? *EDIT* Damn it, even aeolos.org is taken! :mad:
Eolos reads a bit more simply to me, I find Aeolos to be a bit odd, but they're both weird/abstract anyway I guess. I can't recall, were all the Maemo iterations named after winds in Finnish, or some in Greek/Latin? I do so love the fact that Eolos or Aeolus was the God of all winds, it ties in nicely with the fact that we want everything united/consolidated. I'm still a bit skeptical of abstract/mythical names though, I've developed a nervous twitch when I hear them :) eolos.org seems to be taken (seems like a personal site, not a co. one), aeolus.org seems to be taken too :( Maybe we can convince the owners of all 3 to offer them for an amount that's reasonable for a NFP organisation? |
