Hi Cornelius,

I understand the reasons for the change to the content of the conference,
but I will continue to disagree on the name and the importance of naming
things <https://hilton.org.uk/blog/why-naming-things-is-hard>. In the
Wikiverse there is a large vocabulary for tools, policies, namespaces,
frameworks, etc., and I for one invest substantial time and effort into
deciding the names for anything that I think may be high profile. WMF
Communications could probably produce a full day workshop about branding,
and I associate the art of naming things closely with the art of branding.

Regarding the event, the summit is not an all-Wikimedia summit; it is a
summit for WMF, WMF committees, and affiliate organizations. So I consider
"Wikimedia Summit" to be a misleading name, and would encourage you to
think further about it. Perhaps the name could be a subject that is
discussed at the conference.

Good luck with the new focus of the event. I am cautiously supportive of
the change of content.
