does SC care if it's W3C Publishing Summit or Publishing@W3C Summit?

Hi,


Sorry I didn't mention in our call, one more question I had for the SC (to
consider or delegate to Program Committee).

 

It has become clear in discussing this event that everyone refers to it
informally as the "Publishing Summit" not the "Publishing@W3C Summit" and of
course we need to refer to both W3C and the event in some communications,
and I have personally found it awkward to write things  like for example to
a prospective sponsor: "W3C is holding the Publishing@W3C Summit on Nov 9-10
."

 

We said in London that the "brand" is Publishing@W3C so it should be the
Publishing@W3C Summit but I am not sure we really thought it through
completely.  Because to me this event is somehow bigger than just being
about what's going on at Publishing@W3C even though it is itself one of the
things going on at Publishing@W3C. And for twitter I can forsee something
like #w3cpubsummit being used over #pubatw3csummit.

 

Personally I would kind of lean towards after all calling this the "W3C
Publishing Summit" even though I am not generally a fan of revisiting
previous decisions the name has kind of the opposite of grown on me since
March (I don't mean a problem with using Publishing@W3C as the umbrella for
our work but only the name as applied to the event in November). But maybe
that's just me.

 

If the Steering Committee is OK to defer the final decision on the precise
name to the Program Committee that is totally fine with me. But since it was
part of London consensus I thought I should at least ask the question and
who knows maybe we have a consensus now. And if folks feel strongly that we
should NOT consider changing the name (even if much of other things that
were more or less decided in March in London are shifting a bit) it would be
good to know that.
