Let's try another question: who are the new people we want to see? People who know GNOME? People who don't know GNOME? If they don't know GNOME, GnomeCon/GConf is not clearer than GUADEC. If they know GNOME, there are some chances they will learn about GUADEC being a GNOME thing, aren't they? Changing the name because GUADEC is not clear enough when it's written in articles/newspapers/etc is not a good reason: do you reall think a journalist will write "The GnomeCon/GConf/GUADEC will happen on...". I do think he will write "The GnomeCon/GConf/GUADEC, a conference about the free software desktop GNOME, will happen on...". Also, it seems the main idea is to change the name so that the new name shows that it's an event. In what context can we see GUADEC without any reference to the fact that it's an event?
