Name the platform

Open jamesgeddes opened this issue 4 years ago • 3 comments

What?

To help others find the fantastically useful group management platform that we have created, it needs a name! Come up with one that is catchy and encapsulates the functions and advantages that the package provides.

For example, Wikipedia runs on MediaWiki. Anyone can download and install MediaWiki to run their own Wikipedia-style wiki.

Why?

We want to help the wider community find this platform as,

  • they will find it useful for running their own group
  • providing hosting services could help GZ to raise much needed funds, as well as provide excellent experience for our members

Requires #129

Running on Kubernetes should help us to do a really good job of this, as we could keep clients partitioned, but run on a "unified" architecture that is resilient.

To fulfil the requirements of the GPLv3, the platform shall be known as Geek.Zone/Web or /web for short until further notice. Future us should come up with a better name at some point. If a rename occurs, www.Geek.Zone/Web shall advise what the name of the platform has been changed to so that we ensure back compatibility.

Look at me trying to sound all lawyerish. IANAL.

How about ComunOS - because we are aiming for this to be the operating system for the community?
