Assalamo alaykom, Hereafter kindly find my conversation with Mark about Sabily (in video): http://sabi.ly/f/Cq24M (sorry for my poor English ^^' ). and hereafter our response to Mark (of course after thanking him :) ) I wrote this mail with Mehdi then I sent it to Mark, I will forward you Mark response's when he come back after holidays inshalla): "...as we are using the name "Sabily" for quite a while now, we'd prefer to stay with it, as people are now accustomed with this name. But we could change the "formerly ubuntu muslim edition" part with a more official "ubuntu muslim remix" title. So, by using the title "Sabily - Ubuntu Muslim Remix", we wouldn't perturb existing users, and it would make an official link to Ubuntu..."
