Redoing this poll due to a suggestion by @kilroy_was_here ...
What name do you like best for a non-profit #FOSS community for Ham Radio? Think Apache incubator but for Ham plus other open-source services and resources for the community.
FYI I have both the dot com and dot org as well as the hyphenated and non hyphenated versions of the below. Please mention which variant you prefer in comments.
#Ham #HamRadio #Amateur #AmateurRadio #RF #Radio #Foss #Floss #OpenSource #Programming
@freemo @kilroy_was_here I would've dropped the "amateur" part from "Free & Libre Engineers for Amateur Radio".
EFLR - Engineers for Free & Libre Radio

Any particular reason? Do you think a non pronouncable acronym works better?
Uhhhhhhhhh, don't know how to tell you this except by posting the Wikipedia article.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amateur_radio
That is the specific thing that this thing would be focused on.
@kilroy_was_here @freemo Uhhhhhhhhh, don't know how to tell you this, calling something "amateur" does not instill confidence.
You can use the term "Ham Radio" instead.

There's nothing "amateur" about people with great technical skill working on a passion project, I've seen some very impressive things in my own field built by hobbyists.
That's my take.
