Now that we are discussing the technology that could be used for making a PC sync / backup tool, a "PC suite" for Jolla.

Now, whatever technology we choose, I think we should also come up with more Jolla-like name, which we call it, that fits into the theme!

We already have Harbour, a dry-dock for developers, Sailors, and the Jolla (Finnish for "dinghy") etc., so your suggestion should probably fit in to this theme.

Vote for your favourite, and/or add your own suggestion (please remember to check the "community wiki" box)!

To promote your own suggestion, collect votes, and give everyone an easy overview (to avoid doubles), please link your answer to the end of this list:

@Anna thank you for this poll! The list of the names proposed above does only show about half of the proposed names so far, which is a bit confusing. Please consider to delete it, as it would make it easier for users to scroll through the answers without the space covered by it on each page.

@corneliusg - (it's a wiki, remove the links if you think that's a better solution. I'm the one who added the links, as I thought it would give others an easier way to see the different suggestions, when the suggestions began to cover multiple pages. the idea was for contributors to add an answer-suggestion (as a wiki!) and then add the link to the question-suggestion.)

phle ( 2014-02-11 23:44:01 +0300 )edit

I think it was a bad idea to delete the links. Everyone who was serious about their contribution should have added a link for others to easily access their favorite suggestion and vote for it. Not sure if people go through all answers now. I could add tons of suggestions, but I may not be convinced of all of them myself. So I might add them as an answer but not promote them to collect votes. However, if someone finds a suggestion well worth being promoted, they are welcome to add it to the list.

Also, I'm sure there will be lots of doubles now. Not good to have the links removed at all. This is why I recovered the earlier version and added To promote your own suggestion and collect votes, link your answer at the bottom of this list:. Should be very clear now.

Anna ( 2014-02-12 06:30:47 +0300 )edit

Ok, I've added all suggestions "up til now", and also edited them to a more compact format.

Hopefully this will suit both @corneliusg, and the rest of us who (have actually added our suggestions to the list, and) prefer having all suggestions easily viewable.

OK, here comes a rather funny suggestion:

Jolla Survival Suite (not to mix up with survival suit, which lead me to have this idea)

Life buoy or raft could be a good name for an emergency rescue/backup shell/tool^^

Since the phone has a Finnish name. Why not to call eth PC Suite in finnish too? PORTTI - Port or LAITURI = Pier.

@hwicha Hi, I did delete Satama from your post, because, the name satama already has been proposed above. Please also just make one proposition per answer only, so people can vote for each name seperately.

corneliusg ( 2014-02-11 22:28:34 +0300 )edit

This is what you get from the deletion of the links in the entry post.

Anna ( 2014-02-12 06:32:47 +0300 )edit

@hwicha I still keep the future in mind. The operating system is Sailfish. Sailfish for sure is not a Finnish word. I'm sure you want to backup the OS' content, not the phone hardware.

As far as I can tell, you're in the list, it's just the way they stack up on each page. I noticed Eric (Admin) on the page, I'm sure he will make the corrections, if needed! I'll edit the 'bracketed' stuff while I'm here! :) Regards,

Jolla Cloud

.. I had the vision that it will be based on OwnCloud. ;)

freee your jolla freeeeee.. do not tide it to any harbour, anchor .... pick your own cloud ... move your own cloud ... your jolla your choice :)

vote for future ... vote for Jola Cloud :)

Jolla cloud would not be "own" even if based on ownCloud. Nevertheless that is exactly what I would think - free your device from services you would never need, free Jolla from extra headache with privacy and security of their customers -- move that responsibility to users themselves.

This suggestion is in English, is short, makes sense, but has no relation to the marine world _in itself_ - but does, with the suggested URI:

my

as in: my.jolla.com

  • my place to back-up and/or edit things

  • my choice of using - or not using - an additional cloud-service

It may not be that unlike (it's actually rather common - but I think it's not that common for smartphones?), but this suggestion aims for ease.

(It's actually the first "name" I thought about, when I saw requests for a sync/back-up tool, but then people began suggesting a more marine-themed name.)

Sailfish Synkro

This is a play on synchronisation and synchrolift.

A Synchrolift takes vessels out of the water like a dry-dock for maintenance, and repairs.
