fix Hackerspace.Gent phrasing #25

Closed evils closed 5 years ago

evils commented 5 years ago

fix the occurences of "hackerspace ghent" preserved the exact phrasing of our legal name as "Hackerspace Gent" and kept "Ghent" where it's referring to the city's name.

You should call it Hackerspace Gent, not Hackerspace.Gent. We use Hackerspace Gent almost everywhere and it is our legal name..

The name we agreed on was Hackerspace.Gent, the legal name is missing the period because of a filing error.

merlijn-sebrechts commented 5 years ago

Although Hackerspace.Gent might have been what we decided then, we have discussed "Hackerspace Gent" vs "Hackerspace.Gent" on many meetings since, and the proposal to "fix" this mistake never got any steam. The government has also advised against such a name since they don't feel they're competent enough to be able to handle a weird name like that.

If you want to change the name again ("fix" the mistake) then put it on the agenda for next GA, but until then, we're going to keep using the name we've been using everywhere and which is our current legal name.
