Hullo, I'm trying to figure out what this name embodies.
"Freed" elicits, atleast in me, notions of a bunch of previously subjugated people now unshackled by something. Not necessarily with respect to FOSS. It could be a revolt, a coup de etat or whatever. Freed 2007 would make a great libertarian conference, going by names alone. Secondly, a name with only one syllable? Really? I would think it would garner lesser attention spans than other words. So my question is to whatever team that came up with the word - why Freed? Whats the raison d' etre, if you will, behind the name? I'm not saying you go for "FITS" , or change the name btw - before overeager keyboard junkies start stomping on my case. I'm sure there were other names on the table - what were those? And I'm not quite sure what the cloak and dagger-esque discussions were about - appreciate inputs on that too.
