That's ALL I've attempted to do, don't you freaking try to suggest otherwise matey!
Yet, you failed to communicate any of this in your initial post here. That's the whole point I'm trying to make.

You seem to prefer reasoning with people who already agree with you. Clever.
What I'm not is an ardent supporter of the name "Hildon Foundation". I'm an ardent supporter of any name that has a real meaning. We could also use Gary's (user)name - of course only if his family would agree, and I hope for them they wouldn't (if asked) because they'll not be able to control what the foundation does in his name. It could be the 770 Foundation (because it was the first of its kind that started the revolution), it could be the Extras-Devel Foundation, it could be anything that had a real meaning during the heyday of the community.

What it should not be is a name that is created now, at the end, and will always be seen as the tombstone of a once active community. See Tizen.
