Sorry for top posting, here is another suggestion: Mermate, mermaid and mermade all have mer at the start, but we could just as easily put it at the end, and this opens another range of possibilities: maemer meemer mobmer Or looking for other languages, how about Mara (gaelic meaning of the sea, so of Mer). Ronan. Mermaid / Mermade / Mermate sound more interesting and original than Neptune or Poseidon in connection to Mer. And I don't think including Mer inside the name is any problem really, if the name as a whole has a self significant meaning. You can try other languages for sea connotation also. Example: Earenos (Earen - great sea in Quenya, OS is an obvious suffix). Regards, Hillel.

Currently our splash screens says MeeGo 1.3 Community Edition which will be increasingily inaccurate as we're working to rebase CE on top of the Mer Core. OK, I'm confused on where you are with defining Mer's governance - which steering group are you referring to? Some limitations: * Can't include trademarks or company names, such as MeeGo / Tizen, Nokia, etc. * Can't include Mer within it as Mer's a core and CE is not the Mer UX (nor is anything) OK, above you refer to Mer Core which - as you know - fits into what I was pitching MeeGo 2.0 would be: http://wiki.meego.com/Blueprint. I think this is now the template for how Mer should function. However, you also state Mer's a core (implying nothing more than that). IMNSHO, Mer should refer to the project which facilitates the development of a stack of related projects by different teams. Core is one of those projects. Community Edition (not sure a new name is needed if naming is consistent) is another project which takes the output of Core, UX#1, N900 Adaptation and N9(50) Adaptation and sprinkles on some of their own special sauce. Glossary: * Mer - a group of projects providing the infrastructure for developing an open source, mobile Linux OS. * Mer Core - a project which provides the smallest booting Linux Qt environment. * Mer Tools - build tools and stuff on top of Core necessary to build it either cross-compiled or self-hosting. * Mer Apps - apps.formeego.org development, infrastructure etc. * Plasma Active for Mer - a project taking Plasma Active and delivering a Mer build of it. * Handset UX for Mer - a project taking MeeGo's Handset UX and delivering a Mer build of it. * Mer Community Edition - a polished, project aiming to deliver a day-to-day usable build of one or more of the other Mer projects, acting as a reference vendor. The scope of Mer has to, IMHO, encompass these other projects (rather than being [just] a core) - it has to be a toolbox of projects; for no other reason as to provide a home for the rest of meego.com as it diminishes over time.
