A quick note to announce that we are reviving the /e/OS & Murena community group at Reddit, under the common banner "eelo"...

Join now at: https://www.reddit.com/r/eelo/

#degoogled #smartphones #privacy

norztech,

@gael Why don’t you host it on google groups ?

@norztech why would we do that?

@gael Should have been a Lemmy or Kbin instead instead :|

Dricc,

@krafting @gael maybe have one of these additionally to reddit? Like people who are on Peertube but keep posting on Youtube as well because that's where they get the biggest audience @thelinuxEXP

@Dricc @krafting @thelinuxEXP sure but my days are only 24 hours 🙃

@gael @Dricc @thelinuxEXP and I totally understand why you wouldn't want to moderate two social media! Just saying it would have been cooler to be just on lemmy or the fediverse officially !

nattiegoogie,

@gael

Please start a lemmy or kbin community group, with the goal of eventually turning it into your new primary group, and start encouraging the Reddit users to move there.

Don't wait until Reddit looks like Twitter; get ahead of that curve.

@gael Might not the best time to resettle at , especially not for free software products.

@gael is this the sign of an upcoming better name for /e/os ? 😆

@lepoissonlibre
Funny enough eelo is the -old- name.. eelo, eOS, Murena : with each attempt at finding a new name to replace the unfortunate previous one, we end up adding one more name to the collection of legacy names still in use instead of replacing it once and for all..
Very confusing 😄

Still a happy daily user, @gael 🙂

@kiudecan @lepoissonlibre @gael and here I am, still waiting for Murena OS…

gael,
@gael@mastodon.social avatar

@masterbuck @kiudecan @lepoissonlibre who cares about an OS name...

lepoissonlibre,
@lepoissonlibre@mamot.fr avatar

@gael @masterbuck @kiudecan people searching for help online, in my experience /e/os is too strange (with the two slashes) and too generic (just one letter) to be well referenced by search engines or social networks 😅
Also I'm doing flash parties in Lyon, and orally there is 2 way of prononce it ([e] or [eu]), and some non-tech people confuse it with "iOS"

jonasvautherin,

@gael @masterbuck @kiudecan @lepoissonlibre I agree that a project name doesn't matter, as long as:

  1. One can reasonably pronounce it ("twhxcvmplwx" is a bad name)
  2. One can search for it ("m" is a bad name, "&m&" too)

Murena is perfect, /e/ OS kind of sucks. As it happens, 10min ago I wanted to go read the changelog for my update 1.12.3, and gave up because I remembered that every single time it annoys me.

Dricc,

@gael @masterbuck @kiudecan @lepoissonlibre I agree. Murena is for everyone, and most people never talk about the system that runs on their phone. Instead, they tell their friends, "I have a Murena phone" and the friends will look up for Murena, and notice that Murena also has a foundation that may allow them to get the Murena experience on a phone they already have

lepoissonlibre,
@lepoissonlibre@mamot.fr avatar

@Dricc @gael @masterbuck @kiudecan it's a very specific scenario. A more common scenario I'm frequently facing is someone asking for an altertive OS for they phone, and me saying "eos" then spelling "slash e slash os", then the person making me repeat 😐
(not mentioning all the problem for searching support online I mentionned in my other toot)
But okay if Murena is the entry point as you are saying, then it needs to be called Murena OS and everyone will be happy 👍

gael,
@gael@mastodon.social avatar

@lepoissonlibre @Dricc @masterbuck @kiudecan what about Microsoft OS ? ^^

masterbuck,
@masterbuck@fosstodon.org avatar

@gael @lepoissonlibre @Dricc @kiudecan Call it eelo or Murena OS, call it gaelbuntu or Arch Duval, call it NotQuiteAndroid if you prefer, just anything that is simple to remember, tell people and search… we all just want to give the project all the cards.

gael,
@gael@mastodon.social avatar

@kiudecan @lepoissonlibre what is confusing??? Murena products & services for sale, including smartphone running a mobile OS called /e/OS....

@gael Great. Now also make one over at lemmy or kbin.

Rush,

@gael Why not over on the Fediverse, e.g a Kbin instance?
