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
