It keeps the "Tri-" connection to Trinity, has only two syllables, and sounds more like a mascot name than a person's name. Interestingly, "trilo" is also a real Portuguese word for a trill or warbling sound, so at least in Portuguese it has a rather pleasant accidental meaning. :-)
And speaking of presenting TDE, I have been working on a TDE-focused LiveCD intended to showcase TDE as a complete, ready-to-use desktop environment.
The image is already working well, and I am currently using it for a longer period to make sure everything remains solid in day-to-day use. Once I am satisfied with that, I intend to present it to the project and ask whether it could be added to the LiveCDs listed on the TDE website.
As for the mascot, I think "Trilo" is definitely worth adding to the list. :-)
Hi everyone, here we go again with the name discussion :-) I think we have been through this exercise at least 2 other times and we went nowhere, because we are all different and we all have different preferences.
My 2 cents on the topic: - avoid names already used for other things (like Trix, though it sounds good) - we can't please everyone, especially considering we have a multicultural/multilanguage community - we don't need to have a "real" name. I don't know any real person named "Tux" or "Konqi"
When we discussed many years ago, I didn't like the name Tristian. It is still a bit "funny" to me, but it meets the requirement above and sounds unique, which is good for giving TDE its own identify, together with the new mascot and perhaps T-logo. If we just keep proposing different names, we will end up as we did in the past, still stuck on Konqi. So on my side, I am pretty much ok with the name Tristian. I would like things to move forward this time and I am pretty sure people will get used to the name in a very short time, as I did it.
Cheers Michele
