My understanding is that the purpose of OHF is to promote (1) FOSS friendly hardware, (2) free hardware designs. If (2) is the main goal, then I think "The Foundation for Free Hardware Designs" is a quite precise name (read: pedantically correct). Omitting closed-class words the acronym becomes FFHD.
I really like that name, "The Foundation for Free Hardware Designs". My biggest worry, actually, is the money and time it might cost Patrick to implement the change. Legal paperwork has already been submitted, and he would have to submit an addendum. This is one case where I might explicity ask the FSF for monetary help, if it's that important to them. Really, the blame rests on me... IIRC, I'm the one who came up with the name "Open Hardware Foundation." So, if anyone should pay for the change, it's me or the FSF. Definitely not Patrick. -- Timothy Miller http://www.cse.ohio-state.edu/~millerti _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
