After a one and a half year selection process, the new name of the operating system formerly known postmarketOS has been announced during the mystery talk of our very own conference. From now on this project is known as Nura!
Nura comes as an abbreviation of Nuraghe, which are ancient (3000 BC and older) granite structures found in Sardinia in Italy, many of which still stand today. The deeper meaning is the stability and the resistance to millenniums, which fits well with the our project as the idea has been from the start to keep devices our OS runs on useful for a long time. The name was contributed by Davide Depau as part of our initial request for community contributions for the new name. Thanks a lot Davide!
I like this rebrand. I didn’t really like the name postmarketOS as much. Didn’t dislike it, it was just that its acronym became pOS, which I disliked. Nura OS can stay Nura or can become the acronym NOS, both of which are kickass. Also, that logo is amazing. I’m hoping they succeed in their mission.
