purvis
I read the name last week cannot even remember it now. I starts with a z and I think it has two o's in it.
Perhaps you need to go back to school for some reading lessons, or maybe you are just getting old & senile & forgetful. It starts with a k.
I think a name should be remember able and spell able easily.
Yes with spelling abilities like that you definitely need some more english lessons.
If you say the name to somebody, you should not get them saying "spell that", "say that again", "what". It is very clear to me if a name has anything to with success. You should call this new os Titantic because at least it would be a named remembered.
That is a reasonable opinion but not an ultimate blocker. I have to spell my own business name many times purely because it is based on my natural given surname, which some people spell one way & others spell another way, but my business is still successful. In these days of written communication, email addresses & web sites etc, the new name will be easily discernible.
I know you did not mean it to be used, but Titanic SME could be seen as being an immediate disaster of an OS !!!
So koozali, while unusual & different, implies & means a beginning & a start & something new to look forward to. Reasonably optimistic to me.
It is also clear although there may be some smart people on the team. They know nothing about marketing. That was intended to be an insult. If that is what it takes to rattle them into reality.
So where were you when the call was made for people to come forward & be involved in setting up the new SME server structure. The call was made in early January 2013 & volunteers & those seriously committed to keeping SME server alive, stepped forward & offered their services, their names are at the start of this thread. They worked through the "issues" & they made the call, & therefore they are quite entitled to come up with a name & a organisational structure they think is suitable.
If you are really concerned about helping & marketing the new Koozali SME Server, then offer your services if you are an expert at product marketing etc. I'm sure your claimed skills would be appreciated.
Please do not start insulting (to use your words) people in these forums, at a time when your comment is more or less irrelevant as it is a done deal now & a commitment has been made to the koozali name.
I would also ask others not to respond to such insults, as in the words of purvis, it is just designed to "rattle them into reality", & I think such discussions will just be a waste of everybodies valuable time. If purvis wants to be serious about assisting, then he can give positive input & help to the Koozali Foundation team. It is still the SME server as we know it today, just taking on a new name, so there is no valid reason to suddenly not support Koozali SME Server just because you do not personally like or are critical of the new name.
