    I’m glad someone forked OnlyOffice but wish they came up with a better name than EuroOffice

      I think from a political perspective its a good choice. It conveys that it’s a european software fitting right into the EU becoming less dependent on foreign software.

        There are three options naming open source projects:

        • Open/Libre something.
        • This is not This acronym
        • Kinky sounding acronym

          Why not combine all three?

          Introducing: OpenLibreSPANK! It stands for “Spank Proudly Ain’t Not Kinky”!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
