Mostly I keep hearing "NO buntu" which seems to have a negative twist to the whole thing. Since it is easier to say no, how about this suggestion? GNOMEbuntu - Even better, why not distinguish ourselves and remove the 'buntu' postfix altogether? Ubuntu-GNOME for instance? or even Ubuntu::Gnome which would give it some visiual relevance. anyways, I don't know what canonical's policy is on spins.. but I thought I would throw out something and start a discussion. sri > Thanks, > Jeremy > -- > marketing-list mailing list > marketing-list@gnome.org > https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list >
