There are good reasons for > either approach In my opinion, I prefer that we stay with Ubuntu SwissRemix. We have the right to use the word/name "Ubuntu" as we are an official team. Using SwissOS name give some confusion. We can discuss about some good point related to SwissOS like: - Default Timezone - GDM/Gnome Thmes - gfxboot >From my point of view, the timezone should be set to 'Europe/Zurich' as default. If some of you folks likes the themes and gfxboot from SwissOS, and if SwissOS agree that we can use it (regarding to the license), we can use it for the next Ubuntu SwissRemix. > - SwissOS includes free and non-free software.
