I would like to propose changing the name of GUADEC. There are many
reasons to do this, here are 5:
1. There is no link to GNOME in the name, or to being a conference
2. No-one knows what it means, which means the first question people ask
isn't "when is it?" or "where is it?" or "who's going?" it's "what does
it mean?"
3. It sucks.
4. Do we really want to limit it to Europe?
5. We have a great new name.
Davyd Madeley came up with GConf. This can be subtitles "The GNOME Users
and Developers Conference" for the nostalgic, or just "the GNOME
Conference". It's obvious that it's a conference, and GNOME's right
there. The link is pretty obvious.
Some people might say that there are more important issues to deal with
for GUADEC, like the content, the target audience, the direction, the
site, all that. They're right. But this is one small thing we can make
better, and finally correct an increasingly inaccurate pointless acronym.
Let's do it.
Cheers,
Dave.
