... and the correct response is to explain the insiders-joke until you're blue in the face. Regardless of how annoyed you may get.
Seriously, I helped co-found our local Linux / Open Source user group; and, every so often I have to hear someone complain about why we're all LOSURS. It's geeky / self-deprecating humour people! Anyways, I was going to suggest - as I've done before, shortening OpenIndiana to OpenIndy. So long as it didn't infringe on any trademarks, or such. (I mean, wasn't there Indy equipment from Silicon Graphics Inc., way back???) Regardless, I have the openindy.org and openindy.net domain names to donate, or redirect. I reserved them after I first suggested them. However, such a move would still would leave the acronym as O.I. for better, or worse now apparently. Myself, I don't care what it's called -- it's the core system and technologies that matter. That said, I like to think I can pick-out good names; but, nothing can please everyone all the time. .\\ On Sun, Nov 27, 2011 at 4:53 PM, Jason J. W.
