I'm really not convinced about these recent naming ideas. Liquid? Magma? Magic? Memories? What do any of these have to do with making music, or LMMS, or anything? I don't know, I guess there are software with names that have nothing to do with what the program does, but they usually have at least some kind of connection or backstory as to why the name was chosen, and I'm just not feeling these ones. I guess it's partly because trying to shoehorn words into the LMMS acronym just doesn't really make sense to me. I mean, there's really no point in using an acronym, unless the acronym represents something concrete - or alternatively, forms some kind of play on words or backronym - like GNU: it's funny, because there's an inherent wordplay to it - GNU is actually an animal, but the backronym makes it mean something different. If we go with a non-descriptive name, like these "Liquid" and "Magma" things, then I think we should drop the idea of an acronym altogether, and just go with a full on new name. But if we want to maintain the LMMS acronym, then it should be descriptive - it should make sense, it should in some way reflect what LMMS is and does. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Managing the Performance of Cloud-Based Applications Take advantage of what the Cloud has to offer - Avoid Common Pitfalls.
