assalamu alaykum,
I'm going to resuscitate this old topic, changing the ubuntume name...
As the use of "ubuntu" could lead to problems
(http://www.ubuntu.com/aboutus/trademarkpolicy), we should find a new
distinctive name.
1st step: brainstorming, finding names which are not already used
2nd step: voting
3rd step: working on updating all text and pictures (it's a lot of
work so the sooner we start the better it is!)
Here is a summary of all suggested names on the forum:
* Almoyassar
The simplified, simple
* Fajr
could symbolise a new dawn for the ummah...the revival and rise of
Islam technologically, scientifically, economically, politically,
militarily
* Ummahtux
Ummah meaning "nation", ux for Linux (al ummati islami, the Islamic nation)
* MuslimOSSP (Muslim Open Source Software Project)
* Noor" Or "Annoor"
Because this name could means "light of science and knowledge".
*Ilm
arabic for knowledge
*Himma
Mettle, Spirit, Courage
*Hydeya
Guidance
*Tareaq alhideya
The way of guidance / Guidance way
*Badr
Moon (also it is the name of the famous islamic foray (incursion) of Badr)
*Majd
Glory, Laurel
*Afaq
Horizons
*Ayah
Miracle
*Wamidh
Flash, Glimmer, Light
*Salahoddin
Means: The famous Muslim commander "Salahoddin Al Ayoubi" (1138-1193),
who libirate Al-Qods in 11xx. In French they call him "Saladin".
*'Iqrah' or IqrahLinux
the 'first' word of quran that revealed to our beloved prophet
(saw)... as far as I know UbuntuMe is the 'first' and only linux
distro developed especially for Muslims
------------------------
IMPOSSIBLE:
* Mubuntu
* Aleaf, alif
The familiar, common, easy, recognisable etc -> taken by
http://sourceforge.net/projects/alif
* Muslimix
Muslim Linux -> taken by www.muslimix.com
* OpenMuslim (as in open source, also as in open to new technologies,
open community etc..) -> taken by http://www.openmuslim.com/
We should find a name that is not used by another project or company,
I also think it should be an "invented" name so as a google search
will return only results for our project. So if you suggest a name,
please do a google search before.
So, to build the list we will use to vote, please suggest some names,
or tell which names should not be used.
