I’m sure he meant “a month’s time” (i.e. in one month; one month from now…but not always meant to be taken as exact or literal).
The ' in “month’s” is possessive.
Other examples:
a day’s time
one day’s time
two days’ time
a year’s time
two years’ time
six weeks’ time
Edit:
It’s actually a somewhat verbose or redundant way in English to express these concepts, although the usage is very widespread. One could simply say “in a month,” “tomorrow,” or “next week,” for example…but then variety is the spice of life.
Similarly redundant expressions in English:
“at this point in time” (as opposed to “at this point,” or “at this time”)
“oftentimes” (“often” seems preferable and less archaic)
“and so” (two conjunctions together; “so” alone is correct; no one would say, for instance, “and but.” Not to be confused with the adverbial phrase “and so,” meaning “in the same way” or “also,” as in “He bought an /e/ phone, and so did I.”)
There is a delay here. The announcement of the brand name for /e/ will be after September. There were some delays on part of the team working on this which make us move this announcement forward.
Thanks for the clarification @Manoj. I know you guys won’t disappoint, this will hopefully be the jumping off point for the next chapter to being able to take E Foundation mainstream.
“We should be able to share an announcement of the new brand name in a months time”
later:
“There is a delay here. The announcement of the brand name for /e/ will be after September. There were some delays on part of the team working on this which make us move this announcement forward.”
I really like your joke with the new name. eos is a good operating system, whatever the name is!
(Btw. The end of September is near, is there already an approximate new date?)
Could well be that the /e/ brand is just fine, but since 2019 there has been multiple indications / announcenments that a new brand is coming… yet after 3 years it still hasnt arrived. That to me suggests there is a problem. Even if that problem is purely a communication one.
If you tell people for 3 years that change is coming, and then do not deliver change, well somewhere in there is a problem, and the result is dissapointed / dissillusioned / deflated people.
We had 3rd case once in a company I worked in: The desired internet and email domain wasn’t free because another company in another city had exactly the same name and so we needed to use another, much longer domain name. And then after years it suddenly happened, we got it (because we survived, they didn’t).
