Brigitte's mail about branding was wrong (I already replied) and we are not going to send any "signals" other than work as a community. You will just have to wait and see.

The name will be Stratos at least through graduation - we have no need to reconsider it. Given the community is WSO2 dominated (reality) right now that's not going to change. Your objection was stated during the discussion in the incubator too and it was not a concern for others as there were no votes against the proposal.
