Another, actually most important reason:
— 3rd was GUAD3C
— 4th was GU4DEC
— 5th was GVADEC
— 6th was 6UADEC
And what would 7th be?
I suggest something

I don't think it's more understandable than GUADEC, but once you know
what it means, you remember it.

The call of papers is useless any earlier than December or January,
because most people aren't thinking about May or June until then anyway.
The website doesn't need to be done until then either.

Yes, GnomeCon, or such like, would be more straightforward.

So the solution is that we dump the name that a lot of people in the free software world

Building up name recognition and brand takes a lot of time.

I like GUADEC too, I think we risk losing some recognition/mindshare by

The main idea to change the name is because it's yet another meaningless

because we've been using it for 6 years.

It is. As we all know, G in 'GUADEC' stands for GNOME, and C is for
