Subject: Re: [Wikimania-l] Wikimania: name of a conference...
Well sure, but doesn't anyone like (or has anyone even read) my last few
messages? I agree that conference is plain-sounding, but it still doesn't
carry the fun sense that WikiMania held, and sounds more like a professional
get-together than an open-air type thing. What about WikiExpo or WikiSym?
Are we married to the idea of combining Wiki with everything (not that we
don't in all of our projects, but still...).
[Kereluk, Darren L.] Ok, since you are asking for input, I'm going to pull a
"notwithstanding" and do yet another final comment. These are indeed catchy
names, but I don't know how the Expo one will work out legally (given the
other Expos out there; ie: is there some sort of trademark on the word
"Expo") or the Sem one that you spoke of earlier will work out legally as
well (some folks might connect it with Semagic). The Wiki prefix certainly
denotes it as being different from other events, but the "root" of the name
has to be different as well to avoid brand confusion.
Darren.
