*Hi All,
*
Now before you fall of your chair or swallow your phone while reading
this let me explain why.
I have been wanting to create this post for sometime now and have been
holding off as we are almost ready for our 1.0 release.
The problem I have is that even if we released a new version of the
software and it was our 1.0 release I am not sure anyone will be able to
find us. I have been doing some digging over the last few months about
what actually we are and to be honest I am not convinced we are
"Individual" enough. We as a project get lost in the Bongo Project mahem
that is People who play bongo's as instruments.
Right from day one when we started this fork we had a problem with the
name, we chose " Bongo" as a name as an interim measure so that we had
something to call ourselves while we thought of a new name. This has
obviously not happened and I would like to kick this discussion off
before we are ready for 1.0 so we have time to get it all done so we can
release both to the outside world at the same time.
Now I know that this is not something lightly taken on and also it would
mean quite a bit of work on the part of the limited Dev's we have to
change the code as well as then changing the website and our images and
stuff.
I am now thinking I will spend £30.00 on a prize for the winning name.
So now I need to find out what the community think and if there is
appetite for this.
I have created a poll on my site for some active feedback
let me know I really want to know
Lance
