Description Jacob Lifshay 2020-02-14 21:19:47 GMT
We need to make a decision if we are going with Libre-SOC, LibreSOC, or something else. In order to have a central location to keep track of everyone's opinions, I figured we can have a check list of people in the top comment here.

If you can't edit the top comment, post a comment asking someone (Luke and me can, idk about everyone else) to edit it for you.

(lkcl update: clicked the "editable bug" checkbox
programmerjake: doesn't work, see comment #3)

Remember that we operate on unanimous decision making, so, having a majority doesn't automatically mean that option wins.

Hi Jacob, thanks for setting up this central location for this small but very important decision. I can't edit the top comment, so can you please mark me down under Libre-SOC. Thanks a lot!

removing group since that is for making the bug not publically visible, not for allowing people to edit it,

aw, doh :)
Comment 5 Michael Nolan 2020-02-14 23:48:03 GMT
If I had to pick one, I'd say Libre-SOC (because that's the domain name we can get) but I don't particularly care either way.

actually, the last email was 2020 Jan 25, not very long ago. Michael commented on choosing which domain name Libre-SOC should use:
http://lists.libre-riscv.org/pipermail/libre-riscv-dev/2020-January/003566.html

I think we should wait a little longer, maybe till Feb 26?

(edit: Michael replied, see comment #1)
Comment 11 Jacob Lifshay 2020-02-16 09:27:43 GMT
We can declare Libre-SOC as the new, official, way to spell our project's name!

(Assuming I haven't missed something and assuming that the several weeks we've been talking about the name spelling is long enough that all interested parties have spoken up.)
Comment 12 Jacob Lifshay 2020-02-16 10:00:50 GMT
Just finished updating the website to use the new spelling consistently.
