With this kind of attitude “why even try, because it won’t change
” we would’n even have internet


Has the show taken place? End of june is coming fast!

Maybe freeOS ? :wink: I think the search results are getting better but still this name is confusing to most :wink: FreeOS would be a good name because what we want is freedom - from google, apple, tracking
 We want our privacy back. And the system is free to install which is another perk.

Does this imply the announcement will be made before 26th? Or the topic will be closed to prevent people from inquiring (especially if the announcement will be delayed) ?

Saying, time life or life time for a topic in discourse infrastructure could be 31 month. ( Lol )
this one was created 2018.11.26

Why not close a topic when the matter is either solved or becomes obsolete? What is the benefit of artificially deciding how long a topic should be alive? People will make new ones eventually but it will be more difficult to relate to prior conversations on same idea.

I just keep refresh the e.foundation website waiting for the new name

Roncos nailed your worst issue long ago, this effort is very difficult to find.

One must know already that an open source privacy mod to Android is possible relatively easily plus how desirable that is personally.

There Should not be a real need to obscure what you are all doing, and there is growing awareness at least in the US how useful this could become.

Remember much of what happens here needs investors who want this to find us before they might fund or otherwise support us.

I would favor something close to Liberty (maybe not even English), but probably an entirely new word of maybe three or four syllables easy to pronounce and spell, to make finding this easier with short verbal or text hints. That way when anyone mentions due concern about proprietary based exploitation by computing device makers, the one word reply might be “LibertyOS”.

I guess my only concern in this regard is that proprietary software should remain licensed for non-essential device functions, otherwise complex software functions are not worth expensive fast development. The same reason invention copyrights are desirable.

It’s great news this is so close to happening!
