If it really needs to be renamed, I agree with Marc.
[x] Rename it to PLC

"The Inkscape | Committee | Will Manage the Project. Authority to manage the technical,artistic | and | philanthropic direction of the Project and the program activities of | the Project isdelegated to the Inkscape Committee (“Committee”) as | defined in §6" | * It helps people understand our relationship with the SFC. | * It helps us avoid getting into discussions with third parties that | assume we're an independent organisation. | | Cons: | * There's a lot of things to modify. (chat rooms, wiki, website, | irc, | mailing lists) although not all things need to be modified if they | are | hard to do. For example the mailing list. | * It's not that important. The SFC don't mind and aren't forcing us | to. | | This vote wil be open for one week (7 days) from today at which point | the tally will be made and the decision will be posted to this | mailing | list. If passed, I'll announce to the rest of the project (and | especially vectors) and make a start at changing the name. We can do | this bit by bit as we see things. | | Options | | * [ ] Rename the "Inkscape Board" the "Inkscape Committee" | * [ ] No not rename it and keep it as "Inkscape Board" | * [ ] Rename it to something else (please specify) | | Thanks! | | Best Regards, Martin Owens | Inkscape Board/Committee Member | _______________________________________________ | Inkscape Board of Directors mailing list -- | inkscape-board@lists.inkscape.org | To unsubscribe send an email to | inkscape-board-leave@lists.inkscape.org |
