Re: [Koha] [ByWater Partners] Your suggestions for a new name of Koha NA

[Stebbings, Wade]

Just run the letters together: Kohana
This is also the name of a PHP-based web development framework, but that
shouldn¹t be too confusing.

From a lurkers perspective: I've always liked the way kohana rolls of the
tongue (ko-Han-na).

How about Koha+US  (Koha and us)

Re: [Koha] [ByWater Partners] Your suggestions for a new name of Koha NA

[Stebbings, Wade]

I understand, but there¹s no getting around conflicts in this highly
interconnected world‹you just want to minimize them. Typing KUSUG into
Google results in 32,000 hits, including an actor¹s name on IMDB.

Name of a group vs name of a piece of software is not too confusing. But
if the NA is the expendable part in preference to US, then run that
together: Kohaus
Unless that seems a little too German for a US-centric org.
(this one comes up a lot as a last name in a google search)

From a southern hemiphere perspective. I think the NA what people
are objecting to.
Also picking the name of another open source project seems like a bit
of a stink move.

Perhaps you should consider resurrecting KUDOS

Re: [Koha] [ByWater Partners] Your suggestions for a new name of Koha NA

[Scott Kushner]

At first, I thought this was a rant about splinter groups, regionalism, and 
exclusionary tactics and was going to be a bit snarky and say "what is the 
problem with people in regions getting together to discuss Koha?" "Why does it 
have to be world-wide?"

After all, it's hard for some people to travel-especially librarians on limited 
or strapped budgets these days. Wouldn't more information sharing and the 
opportunity for non-koha libraries to libraries to learn things without having 
to travel half-way around the world be a good thing?

Then when I realized that it was really just about the name, I thought, 
"hey...what about REALLY regional groups like the old CODI (Customers of Dynix) 
used to do, and break out into Koha Users group Northeast, or Koha Users 
Southwest, etc., etc? 

As long as everyone shares the information at the end, what is the problem? 
Maybe more libraries would jump to Koha bandwagon if they had access to more 
information. 

Anyway...here's my .02 cents

KohAmerica

KohaAmerica

KohaAmerican Users Group

KohAmerican Users Group Northeast...

KohaAmerican Users Groupwell, you get the picture.

I think using a name already in use by another web technology would be
confusing, especially for people trying to search for information
about the group. Besides, the "NA" in Kohana is the error we're trying
to correct.

I vote for something simple and descriptive like "Koha United States
Users Group," "KUSUG."
