  • What words or phrases do you most closely associate with ISSABEL today?

That's it.

Why I'm asking for and why you should share your thougts?

I'm working in a profound branding strategy and this is the right time to share wishes, feelings, hopes and direction-vision so Issabel grows in a pretty big, meaningful, powerful way.

So.

Ready? Shoot now!!!

    It sounds like: Queen Isabel

      thinking quickly... is a Female Name... And remeber another Free Sofware Proyect like MariaDB whit another female name....

      I liked

        Well, actually, I don't like the name Issabel for replacement of Elastix, ok, yes is true, MariaDB has a person name, even the name of the daugther of the head of the project, but... I think that for a PBX product, doesn't works.

        When a client heard Issabel will think of a person, not a software, neither of a PBX, Elastix was a good name, because represents all the elasticity that the platform delivers, so I think that the project should has a name more commercial.

        Yes we are doing this because we like opensource, because we have ideals, a community, etc., but this is also business, most of us or even all of us, live or earn money from the work around voip and Elastix, so we need a better name. A name that represents our ideals, yes, but also our work, and the features we expect from a Unified Communications platform as Elastix (2, 3 or 4) are!

        davidbqzt Stay tunned, we are working pretty hard on delivering something that actually, as you said, can sell the damn thing! And yeah, this is open source and I perfectly understand your point... but I invite you to share more on this like you did on and on. Why?

        Well...

        We actually know that Elx , in fact, open source has a little resistance to final clients.

        Guess what? The intention in this kind of topics will help you, and everyone involved, to be confident and have the tools (marketing tools) to give the value that business and no-geeky people are looking for.

        I'll be putting some kind of "Issabel Open Design" with a kind of Open Innovation model.

        Some public branding innovation like successful open source projects does.

        That's part of my mission on this, (graphic design, marketing..). and man... I'll bet you will do business, better than ever before. Well, that's a big promise.

        So my friends... comment below your gut about the main question.

        Thank you all.

          IMHO also the name ISSABEL doesn't inspire a commercial product, but the final product doesn't have to named like that, as happens with ASIPTO and Kamailio, Canonical and Ubuntu. So I think about this project the same way, as a community driven company that can release different products with different commercial names. I can offer my domain fonSIP.com if it seems like a good name for a UC solution.

            I agree with alvbosch, Issabel as the home company for the product it's ok. I think you can consider that when you receive instructions by phone to dial something you are told to dial 444444444 star 1 for example. If asterisk is named star we can name it StarPBX or AstraPBX (I prefer the first)

            Sounds catchy, relates to the world of asterisk without any plagiarism. I googled it and found smartpbx but not StarPBX. It will be great to work graphically that name and relates to the world of telephony. best regards

              Yo estoy de acuerdo con alvbosh, Issabel como el nombre de la compañía envuelta en el producto está bien. Yo pienso que podemos considerar que cuando usted recibe instrucciones por teléfono para marcar algo a usted le dicen marque 444444444 star 1 (en inglés, en españól si dicen asterisco). Si asterisk es llamado star nosotros podemos nombrar StarPBX o AstraPBX (prefiero la primera)

              Es pegajoso, se relaciona con el mundo de asterisk sin plagiarismos. Busqué en google y lo que encontró fue smartpbx pero no StarPBX. Sería grandioso de trabajar gráficamente y se relaciona con el mundo de la telefonía. saludos

                Finally, I like to use with my family LinuxMint (I use Fedora) and the LinuxMint community has been strongly criticized for naming their latest versions with female first names for being sexist". We don't have the money of MariaDB and could start avoinding that at the very first releases receives critics from the community that defends wrightfully the rights of the women. regards

                Finalmente a mí me gusta para mi familia usar LinuxMint (yo uso Fedora) y la comunidad LinuxMint ha sido fuertemente críticada por ponerle nombre de mujer a sus versiones por considerar eso sexismo. No tenemos la plata de MariaDB y podriamos empezar evitando que el producto apenas saliendo reciba críticas de parte de la comunidad que defiende con razón los derechos de las mujeres. saludos

                davidbqzt Hi, I think it's something that can be reviewed. However, I aspire to have our Fork consolidated

                      randallrw I understand your concerns about the name "Issabel" for a PBX product. A name like Elastix indeed conveyed the flexibility and capability of the platform, which is crucial for branding. It's important that the name resonates with both the technical aspects and the business side of things. If you're seeking ways to fund the project or explore financial opportunities, you might want to look into various avenues. For instance, read more about how online platforms, like betting on sports, can offer additional income streams. Finding a name that reflects both your ideals and the practical aspects of the product could enhance its market appeal.
