Red, While I agree the name change may seem trivial when looking at the grand scheme of things; however, an identity change may set the right frame of mind to get going in the right direction.
As I have said, I am floating around ideas. I think OSDC.my can be the lynch-pin for FOSS activities in the country, but first we need to what we stand for and how would we position the brand. Is it a geeks only club or are we to project an image that is more business friendly? Business friendly is synonymous with getting more mulla in our coffers. It is also means we will not be treated as an after thought when it comes to FOSS. As I have mentioned in another thread, I am willing to work on this branding exercise. So far nobody has stepped forward to assist or to begin the branding suggestion. So once again; who is willing to help? Enough of talk already. It's time to get off our collective fat asses and get something moving.
