Well, that was going to be my next question -- can we rename it? I like "ovirt-agent", but almost anything other than vdsm will be nicer :) > From: "Nathanaël Blanchet" <blanchet(a)abes.fr&gt; > To: users(a)ovirt.org > Sent: Friday, February 13, 2015 11:04:45 AM > Subject: Re: [ovirt-users] why is it called vdsm? > > for the little story, when I began to use ovirt in 2012, a french google > search gave me on the first page a full list of "BDSM" result, which > relies to Bonding for the B letter, but in reality for masochism :) that > was very funny but not very serious :) > Indeed. In addition to not being descriptive or helpful, "vdsm" rhymes / sounds like (especially if said quickly) something we shouldn't talk about in a professional setting. This may only be true for native English speakers, and I believe "vdsm" originated in Israel. It's not a label that would have originated in the US due to it not being "work-friendly." That awkwardness aside, ... "ovirt-agent" will be better for marketing, Google searches, etc. Greg > > > > _______________________________________________ > Users mailing list > Users(a)ovirt.org > http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users > _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users(a)ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
