[GnomeMeeting-devel-list] Change of GNOMEMEETING name

[Daniel Huhardeaux <devel tootai net>]

Hi,

I come back with this matter as I think it's the right moment but also 
the last possibility we have to change the name of our favorit software.

As Julien pointed out, there are some domainnames which already exists, 
same for ML, IRC, forums aso. I think that this is not a problem as for 
few times both names would be used anyway and they can be aliased.

My reflexion is: GM 2.0 will come out, since 18 monthes we discuss about 
a new name, it's the right time. I think that after we should wait a 3.0 
to again have a possibility to change it. As also Damien want to have a 
new slogan like "Free your speech" or something similar, why not do it 
all in one :-)

My question: do you agree with me to push to have a new name for GM 2.0?

If no, we close the subject.
If yes, then it's time for brainstorming ;-)

Please reply, even with just a "yes" or "no" answer, but reply!

Below you will find the list of what was proposed, Damien having Voximi 
as preferences but don't like it 100% if I well remember.

1) *Voximi* for Vox - see - me

2) Tertulia

3) paroli for "talk" in esperanto

4) CAFFEIN for Call A Friend and Find a new Experience on the Net

5) "Hob", short and no immediate connotations arrive. Hob was/is the 
'messanger of ra', referred to as Thoth by the Greeks; he is the 
mythological forerunner of Hermes (references to Hob predate those to 
Hermes, and Hermes is believed to be a Greek adaptation of the Hob 
mythology). Since vowels were not recorded in ancient Egyptian texts it 
could also be Hab, Hib, or Heb, at anyones discretion.

6) ODIN Conferencing -- _OpenSource_? 
<http://wiki.seconix.com/index.php/OpenSource?action=edit> 
Data-Interchange Network <- too frequent? Conferencing

7) _OpenMeeting_? 
<http://wiki.seconix.com/index.php/OpenMeeting?action=edit>

8) Talkymag, for "talky" + "image"... but also "mag" like magician

9) _NewMeeting_? <http://wiki.seconix.com/index.php/NewMeeting?action=edit>

10) Vox Populi

11) Proximity

12a) Vocifer for "Vox & See" and a pun with with Lucifer and Vociférer 
in french

12b) Voxifer

13) Buschtrommel - German for the drums used to communicate in the 
outback. You send you message by hitting your drum and the call get's 
picked up and relayed to the target.

14) conference - should be kinda self explaining.

15) blafasel - German for "yaddayadda"

16) conversa - spanish for "to converse"

Thanks for your time.
