   Help, I'm being heckled into changing the name of a free software project! 😂🤦♂️

   If people really want me to call my fork of the GNU Image Manipulation Program "Bob FOSS Studio" in honour of a dead American painter that shares a strikingly similar name to my own, then I will make it so. 🖌️🎨

   The name that comes in second (if it was one of the @brainblasted suggestions) will be the term I use to refactor "gimp" out of the codebase. 🙂

   [ ] Wilber [ ] Bob FOSS Studio [ ] Glimpse [ ] Clickfix

      @bob @brainblasted I think being bold, going all the way and calling it 'Bob Ross Studio' would be an awesome tribute.

      How likely it Bob Ross estate would go along with it?

      @bob @brainblasted my write-up vote would be GNU PIE which was suggested in the bug report ("Picture Image Editor" or some such thing?) But maybe that's just because I'm a bit hungry right now.

      @bob just want to note that Wilber is a GIMP trademark, and thus could cause issues down the line if we were to use it for our hard fork
