From the very beginning “Melody” was one of our favorite name ideas, but it was not the only one. Finding a name that properly embodied the values and qualities of this project was very important to us. So we embarked on an extensive brainstorming process and vetted more than four hundred different names. What follows is a brief overview of the names that we liked, but that ultimately didn’t make the cut.
A core value of the Open Melody Software Group is transparency, or a promise to develop and discuss the product out in the open so that everyone has an equal chance to participate, audit our process, influence our roadmap and share in the excitement of building a product together. We have always known that if we were going to succeed in meeting our own standards for transparency, then we would need to engender it into our process early on. That is why from the very first time we met as a group to create Melody we decided to record our conversations, so that our community would always have the chance to go back, listen and learn for themselves how and why this project was formulated.
FYI: Our first public conference call is being held tomorrow, June 26, 2009 at 10:00a PDT/1:00p EDT. Everyone is welcome!
