Hi out there, I know you are anxious to hear about the new name of legOS.
Good news first: you don't have to flood my mail folder, here it goes...

Here is the list of the names together with the phrases, if I got one. So

no female voters.)

1 vote for bloks:       "building on top of greatness"

1 vote for NogOS :      no phrase

1 vote for ÜberOS :     no phrase

                "open source mindstorms operating system"
                "..."
                "obscured by clouds"
                "rcx rules"

Stephen M. Moraco               Bdale Garbee    German Rojas
Kai Koehne              Thomas Gysi     Albert Huang
Tom Rolfs                       Kekoa Proudfoot Larry Pieniazek
Richard Jackson         Samuel Winchenbach Ed Manlove
Bill Squeira            B.Powolny       Nils Hagge
Eric Swalens            Philo           Joel Udden
JLB                     Busi Maurizio   Ted Hess

Ismael Salvador         Kingsley Morris Tobias Amnell
Alec Bec                        Jeff Nichols    Mark Falco
David C. Chen           Eddie C. Dost   Steve Hassenplug
Jens Michaelis          Michael Obenland

It is a draw between brickOS and osmOS. I have thought about the
possibilities in this case and came to the solution that I will contact the
LEGO group first.
Remeber that we do the whole new name thing to get rid of the problems with
the LEGO group.
I will tell them that we have a draw between two names and will ask if they
find something against one of the names. If they dislike one of the names,
the other will be the new name for legOS. If they could live with both, I
will make up a second ballot between osmOS and brickOS.

I hope to get the information from the LEGO group within the next days and
will inform you ASAP.


Regards,

Michael
