Discussions on consortia title

The initial discussions on the consortia used the title "iLabs Consortia". At the first meeting, after some discussion, it was recognized that there were benefits in the consortia being broader than the a single current architecture (i.e. iLabs) and that by generalizing the focus, it would become more inclusive and provide stronger support for ongoing development. At this inaugural meeting the term xLabs was used as a temporary placeholder to replace iLabs in the title, until a better name could be determined.

xLabs cannot (probably) be used, as it is current used in various contexts

We therefore need to consider what is an alternative appropriate name.

Other projects, systems, architectures, etc. that have been used previously include (with and withough spaces or hyphens in various combinations): iLabs, LabShare, LiLa, WebLab, NetLab, eLab, online-Lab, ...

So, suggestions include:

  • uLabs (Universal Labs / You Labs)
  • LabCloud
  • farLabs
  • flexibleLabs, flexLabs
  • ...

Comments on the above welcome....
