Hi all,
refering to
<http://wiki.debian.org/CDDNamingProposals#head-7bb1ae330046f9d0720b77e76d6ee7aa992b754f>
i would like to drop following letters:
* thingy1:
DISE (Debian Integrated Special/Spezialized Environment/Edition).
The existing meaning found in <http://www.acronymfinder.com/>
"Doing It So Easy" does not sound so bad ;-)
* thingy2:
Debian connected distribution?
* thingy3:
Debian based or - as already mentioned - debian derived.
good luck
gerhard

Hi,
from my blog:
blogging (1-182) life; title=Custom Debian Distributions shall now be called...
* Debian Integrated Solutions. (DIS, pronounced "dish".)
* Or at least, that's what seems to become the result of [1 this thread] on
the[2 debian-custom] mailinglist (and some RL discussions at DebConf8).
* I've not yet participated in the renaming discussions, at the moment I can
only say what others already said: the terms "custom" and "distribution"
both have several problems and renaming won't be easy. Now that I've said
that, it occurs to me that I do have something to add: renaming established
names is never easy, but can very well be worth the effort, if the
established name is problematic / has shortcomings and the new one is way
better.
* And there I have my doubts. TTBOMK or IME, neither Debian Med nor Debian
Edu qualify as "solutions", but are a (great) basis to build solutions...
* Hmm, I mostly started to write this blog post, to make more people aware of
this discussion and not to add new arguments. This should better be done
on the debian-custom mailinglist. Please reply there :-)
* In not totally unrelated news I'm back in Europe and catching up on my
various backlogs. Tomorrow I plan to connect the harddrive with the
Debconf8 videos and start/continue with that [3 backlog]... If you notice
any problems with the already released videos, please don't tell me, but
put them in that wiki page. Thanks!
