Maemo, MeeGo, Tizen. All three of them were horrible choices for an OS name imho.

Sailfish, not a problem. A lot more fish out there than big cats, name-wise.

MeeGo sounds childish.
And Tizen? Blurgh!

Maemo sounds pretty good. Its a combination of sounds that's not quite often made "May-moe".

The good thing about Maemo as well is that the start (Mae) makes people think about the word "me". So it could've been a good pun for Apps or accessories.

For instance;
Android = puns = AppDroid, Calendroid, etc etc
iOS = puns = iCloud, iMessages, iDiot, etc etc
Maemo = MaeNotes, MaeShop, MaePhone, MaeTab, etc etc

Just found out that Tizen Conference is 22May I guess thats why Jolla will announce Sailfish 20May to take some attention from Samsung in the media? Lets hope Jolla success with that.

+1
Or maybe Tizen decided to solidify their date for then in order to reduce the wind in Sailfish's sails...

Or it could also mean that people will forget about Sailfish OS after 2 days, and Tizen will be on the news everywhere

I defiantly think that Tizen will will take the hardware throne quite easily but jolla might take the software throne.

We need working live streams this time!

In fact search this entire thread for user stskeeps to refresh your mem. & you'll find some real nuggets that he's posted over time.

Thnk you. But how do you know he is building a boat and not a fish?

Plus, I take that Image as a joke and not a fact. Thx anyway.

Sailfish was a popular DIY sailing dinghy kit, Jolla is the Finnish word for dinghy (a small agile boat), hence the connection, they explained all this.
The beauty of the name is that it can also be taken to mean a Sailfish fish, hence the the aquatic theme continues, alongside MeR & Nemo.
