> Is the name 'Mageia' immutable? Do you suggest to rename it?
+
+Well... I'm not in marketing. But I think the name isn't the problem.
+
+If you have your company (any company) and after two years working you
+go to an advertising pro and the first thing he says is "you have to
+change the name of your company", will you do it? I guess you'll do it
+if the original name is really a sh*t.
+
+Of course, a good name is an important base for the advertising. But
+when the name is set, marketing pros must do the best they can with
+it.
+
+And it's not the same if you try to "sell" a server OS to a company or
+a desktop OS to a home user, an OEM OS to manufacturers, etc.
+
+Graham Lauder's points are very "logic". Marketing guys can't sell
+something if you don't tell them what they will sell, and who they
+must target their "fire".
+
+That's why Mageia must set mision, vision, etc etc etc.
+
+IMHO.
