Please rename /e/ to something pronounceable & searchable

With Duckduckgo in Brazil, it doesn’t show but with you change the region for Argentina, Bulgaria, Colombina, Catalunha, China, France, United Kingdom…it’s the first result when you type /e/ mobile os. Even using Google I got it.
But I also am expecting to see what will come up about this matter.

The name should be searchable by itself, not just ‘%name% mobile os’!

For sure, /e/ is a terrible name… Can you tell us when the legal post-pone will be over ?

The new name will be announced together with the release of V1 of the operating system. The devs are working hard to achieve this as soon as possible.

This is delightful to know! Any chance this is coming during next month?

The team is working to get it out at the earliest possible. No ETA’s.

Ow man i cant wait! So if u donate money now, will u still get eelo stickers/sweaters, etc. Or will everything be put on hold and sent once the new name had come out?

hi @Eelo , if you donate today, you’ll get stickers or sweaters with the “/e/” logo. We can’t use “eelo” anymore per the reasons mentionned above.

Sorry i meant if u order stickers or sweaters now, will u het thema with /e/ on them or with the new name.

Hi @Eelo, as mentionned in my previous comment, all our goodies are currently coming with the /e/ logo. We haven’t finalized the new naming, nor its implementation on our goodies.

I love the colored “e” logo on my sweater., nothing wrong with it without the slashes.

OK thank you for answering.

We will have stickers with the name once it is finalized or when we can declare it.

Earthling OS - The mobile OS for humans

Branding is an essential part of making this OS a success. With the announcement of devices shipping next year I think the question of what to call this OS is urgent. I want to recommend E os to friends and family, but E is really unsearXable ;-p

I propose Earthling OS.

    It is symbolically the antithesis of the antihuman technological nightmare Google Android and iOS have become.
    It is attractive both written and spoken.
    It is inclusive of all of us.
    It is powerful and optimistic.
    It begins with E, allowing the /e/ branding to be retained.

What do you guys think?

I’m excited too! I like the Earthling OS proposal, abbreviatable as e or eOS

Does /eel is officially the new name (as it can be found in someplace on internet)?

For me, this is not true.

not with Duckduckgo for sure…
