Don't feel bad, in the US indiana sounds nice but represents a (crazy)
conservative state that tends to produce corn, cows, and very very bad
politicians.
Was just in Copenhagen, very nice....

Has there been any discussion about the name "OpenIndiana" recently. I
can surely understand the reason for picking this name, but for a Dane
(like me) it comes out a bit clumsy.
I've tried to imagine a couple of funny scenarios, like OpenDenmark
(Denmark is at least three times smaller than the state of Indiana) and
it leaves me with wrong, well, almost political associations.
As much as I want Denmark to be more open towards foreigners, this
probably has no counterpart in making Indiana more "open" in that
sense, so... :-)
Perhaps "OpenIndiana" sounds much better in American but it still has
this...provincial touch over it.
Anybody?
