REQUIREMENTS
============
An ideal name should identify important features of the operating system,
including that the OS is:
* A BusyBox/Linux operating system for embedded applications
* Modifiable post-deployment
* Able to be tuned for any purpose
Additionally, we must be able to register one or more domains for the project,
preferably in one or both of the following top-level domains: org and net.
SEARCH TACTICS
==============
In searching for a name that is also a real word (not a requirement), I'm using
command lines similar to the following to search Debian's "wamerican" word list,
built from SCOWL:
$ grep bbles /usr/share/dict/american-english
POSSIBLE NAMES
==============
BUBBLES: Universal BusyBox/Linux Embedded System
Pros:
* Real word
* Recursive acronym
* Bubbles are fun
Cons:
* Convincing companies to play with bubbles in their products
* Domains already registered: bubbles.org, bubbles.net, bubbl.es
RUBBLES: Universal BusyBox/Linux Embedded System
Pros:
* Real word
* Recursive acronym
* Domains available: rubbles.org, rubbles.net
Cons:
* Negative connotation in a word associated with destruction?
