Well, I've just volunteered to give a presentation on LegOS at Brickfest
2002. I don't think I'm the most qualified person to present LegOS, but I
am willing. And that seems to be the only real requirement!
First, I'm a programmer (VB), and I've been using LegOS for over a year.
I'm pretty comfortable with using it, but still a little rough on
setup/configuring. Unfortunately, I expect that's where everyone else needs
help, also.
I want to target this presentation towards install/using on Windows
platforms. With that in mind, any input would be appreciated.
One thing I would like to suggest. This may be a good time to introduce a
new name for the operating system formally known as 'LegOS'. I know there
has been discussion about changing that. Does it seem reasonable/possible
to have the new name in place by Brickfest (mid-July)?
Thanks for any input.

Let us start the "new legOS name project". The procedure is the following:
1) send your name proposals (10.06. - 22.06.)
Please mail me your name ideas. Do this with a personal e-mail to:
legOS-namepoll@gmx.de
The subject line should read 'legOSname'. In the mail body, you can offer me
a name. I will send you a receive confirmation mail.
Plase DO NOT fill this newsgroup with names! Only names sent to
legOS-namepoll@gmx.de will make their way onto the names list.
The name proposal phase will last from tody up to the 22.06.
2) On the 23.06., I will present the proposed names and
3) the poll phase will start. This will last from the 24.06. - 07.07.
Again, you send me your vote and I will send you a receive confirmation
mail. I will explain the vote phase in detail at the name presentation.
4) The result will be published one or two days later.

I'm wondering, has anyone asked LEGO for permission to continue calling it
'legOS' (emphasizing the unique capitalization)? What was the response?

That is why we search for a new name. The LEGO group said that they don't
like legOS and all possible deviations. If you look on the official
mindstorms webpage, legOS is not mentioned. On the other hand, they where
so kind only to ask for a new name when the next version of legOS will
emerge. Meanwhile, the old name is tolerated.
LEGO doesn't want a name with anything with a (TM) in it, i.E. LEGO, RCX or
such a thing.

Michael
