I've always felt that "Op1st" is clunky. The correct pronunciation doesn't really follow from the spelling if you're not already familiar with Operate First. It looks like a clever numeric contraction -- like "i18n" or "l10n", but it isn't. If I wanted a shorthand for referring to Operate First, I would go with either "opf" (because that's already in wide use through our own configuration and documentation), or possibly "O1" as a distant second. If I were looking to differentiate "operate first", the concept, vs "operate first", a particular implementation of that concept: I guess I would follow the example that's already been given for Fedora, and just keep calling things "operate first", adding qualifiers as necessary ("operate first cluster", etc). Spelling it "Op1st" and still pronouncing it "operate first" doesn't seem to do anything but sew confusion and practically we end up in the same place. -- Lars Kellogg-Stedman <lars(a)redhat.com&gt; | larsks @ {irc,twitter,github} http://blog.oddbit.com/ | N1LKS _______________________________________________ Community mailing list -- community(a)lists.operate-first.cloud To unsubscribe send an email to community-leave(a)lists.operate-first.cloud
