Although a name change does *imply* a change of focus of the organisation, that it will become "Free, Libre, Open Source" technology organisation, rather than a Linux organisation.
It does not imply a change of focus from what we are now (imo). It is intended to bring our name in line with what we currently do.

The function of the name is not essentially to describe the function of the organisation, but to uniquely represent the organisation. All that such badge-engineering does is obscure identification. Even advertisers recognise the commercial value of brand recognition ! /end rant regards Rohan McLeod
