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.

The whole discussion was to find a name that has real meaning isn't it? Those who have been against Hildon Foundation, including me, were of the opinion that its pretty divisive especially at this moment when there is a split from Nokia going on...

Wouldn't a name like Aelous have a story too? i.e. King of Winds; Summation of all the platforms anyway...

I'm still of the opinion a poll should choose the popular choice and whatever is the result should be presented to the Council...This includes the possibility of Aelous not being the preferred name but at least it has community support behind it then...

You came out blazing guns from your first post about how ANY name other than Hildon would be meaningless to you and be hiding our origins...

So your post pretty much illustrated what you wished so I was telling jalyst its not worth to argue with someone who has made up his mind...After all the opinion of yours or mine or jalyst's is not representative of the community...That's why I've been pushing for a poll...Its not about reasoning with someone who agrees with my view...IIRC jalyst was in fact in favour of something other than Aelous so how is that the same? I'm in favour of a poll and allowing the community to decide...

We have seen how the Council Awards caused a major split in the community and till date converted one valuable community member into something like a troll hence leading to a ban from #maemo...I don't wish that to occur again to the Council...

If a poll chooses Hildon as the popular choice at least its transparent and not a small group deciding for the community...That's the main point of a poll; prevent the Council from being questioned down the road and preventing accusations of bias against them!
