Hi all, Just to keep everyone in the loop, please read:

Having been on the receiving end of cyber squatters, I'd be happy to hand it over to you at cost price (I think ~ 20USD) and the new team can go choose a name that does not confuse you with them. The team is a bunch of F/OSS people (some quite qualified) who'd like to earn a bit of money on spare time. It's really odd how these things happen, you offer DB, Ali is aoffereng a more complete service. I've cc'd him. You two should really have a chat. Regards, Phill. -- https://wiki.ubuntu.com/phillw http://www.kibocomputers.co.za/ Yes. We were so excited. We didn't check. You can totally blame me for this one. Now, what are the options we have before we make the official launch of the project? 1. Wait until we get a reply from http://www.kibocomputers.co.za/ 2. No need to wait and try to come up with another name. 3. Why? we could use www.amjjawad.net - who cares what is the name of the website that is offering a service? I mean, a client will click on a link, find the service, pay, etc. Yes, the project is mine. No, I can't or don't want to be a dictator. There was a valid reason why I asked you all to join because I do believe in the power of WE instead of the weak I that can't do much without WE. If I have to share my opinion before anyone else, I'd recommend to go for www.amjjawad.net for now for these main reasons: 1. Kibo is the name of the project. It does not matter whether its website hold the same name or different one. 2. http://www.kibocomputers.co.za/ might start a legal battle (or may not) against us and we can't go that route neither now nor any other time. Neither we have money for a legal stuff nor time. 3. www.amjjawad.net is up and running already, we just need to update the website and convert it from pure personal website to a website for Kibo Services and Products (Kibo Project). 4. Kibo now is a baby. Kibo is just a project (business/profit) at this stage; I call it Phase 1. Once we can move safely to Phase 2, we can worry about other stuff like name, etc. IMHO, once we are on Phase 2 where Kibo will migrate from a project to a company, we might need different setup anyway. So, why to waste our time and think about names, etc? So, what do you think?! -- Remember: "All of us are smarter than any one of us."
