First of all. Great that you want to help free software.
Instead of a fork, maybe be a part of the NetInstall disc as KDE is today. KDE version is called Triskel i think. Maybe get your project there? Name suggestion Trisbox ?? Most people here would not recommend using the word "open" in Openbox because it hints to open source.
I see that make a fork of something can be great if a project has lost its road or stopped developing but forking a project that is walking the correct path and forking it.... It will just lead to confusion and people in the free software have to work more for less because their is no cooperation.
