Due to the name "GIMP" being considered quite offensive in some
dialects of english, which has been a renewed topic of debate among
the wider FOSS community, we are proud to announce that across the
next month or so the project will be rebranding!
From now on, GIMP will be known as FAG!
The name stands for "FOSS Art Graphics"! As our project had no
longer been associated with GNU at all for a long while now, we felt it
was finally time to sign the divorce papers and get rid of their name
tainting ours. However we still wanted to convey that FAG is and
always will be Free and Open Source software. After a long session of
brainstorming, spending days upon days looking for a name that
conveys our values and project well, we finally ended at FAG. We're
quite happy with it! What you guys think? Let know through
comments and reblogs!
