Hi !
I think GNOME Arch (Linux) can be more appropiated, because it
explain quite well what it delivers :-)
GNOME OS will be more confusing from my point of view, because
people can think this particular distro is under the control of
the GNOME project or something like, without mentioning that GNOME
OS is the "codename" of the GNOME initiative to improve GNOME in
serveral areas (developers, testing, etc).
My two cents,
-- Juanjo Marin
PS: And GNOME Arch OS is also confusing because people can think
that is a distro for archos.com devices :-)

Good day all,
I thought since a few GNOME users are using Arch that it
might be interesting if this became "GNOME OS".
Obviously I do not speak for GNOME (as I said in my email
to Alexandre) but I thought I would throw the idea out there
and see what people think.
So, any thoughts? Yes, no, crazy...

Hi Brett
Well, becoming "the" GNOME OS would be fun, and I
think, like you said, that using Arch as basis, it's the
best option to GNOME to show the vanilla packages and the
most up to date software.
I'm ok with discussing this with gnome, if the answer
is no we can always keep our usual work.
I didn't contact the project and I don't know who to
talk, so if you could help me present the idea would be
great.
Thanks for contacting me
Cheers

Hello,
I am contacting you regarding the
post on your new direction
http://www.cinnarch.com/important-notice-the-future-of-cinnarch/
I am part of the GNOME Marketing
Team, and thought I would put in my own
thoughts.
Quite a few GNOME users I know are
using Arch due to the nature of the distro
(rolling release, speed, pure packages, rapid
updates to new software versions) and we talk
from time to time about the concept of "GNOME
OS".
Perhaps Cinnarch could become "the"
GNOME OS.
Now, I don't speak for GNOME, but I
wonder if you contacted the project formally (I
could find out who to ask) and made the
suggestion whether it would be considered.
Perhaps this would give you massive
support and publicity if it came to pass.
Thanks, let me know what you think,
and if you need a hand I am willing to help.
Brett Legree
