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…
Who said it’s non searchable ?

@Julien. Well, just followed your links. I’d say, if you look for a Canon camera you’d be probably more satisfied with the search results… (except google where Canon EOS is not on the top)
Janey: Hey, what’s that on your phone, android?
Jimmy: No it’s E OS , it’s really cool. It’s open source and doesn’t steal your data. Look it up.
Next day:
Janey: I tried finding out about that e os but all I see are cameras. That’s the name right?
Jimmy: Oh, sorry, well actually it’s called Forward Slash e Forward Slash mobile OS.
Janey: That sounds…elegant…
Next week:
Jonny: Hey Janey , what’s that on your phone, is it android?
Janey: No it’s Forward Slash e Forward Slash mobile OS , it’s really cool. It’s open source and doesn’t steal your data. Look it up.
Jonny: Wait, which one is forward slash? Is there a space? Oh well, never mind.
Don’t you see the problem here?

Oh I know, I read it. I was just explaining what I meant by “unsearchable”. I’m half-normie on my mother’s side, non-alpha-numeric characters scare people off. Heck, accents, diacritics and umlauts scare off most native English speakers.
Hope you guys have picked something good for the name!
