So we should change the name

* Xenvolution we can't use for trademark reasons
* Xen Project Architecture Design and Deployment Summit is too long

So I suggest we either go for "Xen Project Architect & Design Summit" or "Xen Project Design Summit"

If there are no objections, I will make a proposal to xen-devel@ and other lists

Lars

Could always pair this catchy phrase with a longer, more formal title. Use the short one-word title in some cases (social media); longer one when necessary to communicate to different audiences or new audiences.Â
Â
Xenvolution: Architect, Design & Develop Meetup/Summit/EventÂ
Â
Xenvolution - Annual (or Biannual) Xen Project Architect & Design SummitÂ
Â
Just a suggestion.Â
