What do we call ourselves?

Agreed with @Starcrasher except I’d go with Haikuers for normal users. The rest is fine: Haikunauts for users who “mess up” with Haiku API (makes perfect sense, should include developers of native apps I guess), and “Haikuza” for the gurus (well that one is particularly funny).

Perhaps reserve Haikuvians for those who are knowing history of Haiku since they make us travel through time?

What a strange distinction.

I don’t like the idea that there are different “tiers” and people are entitled to one or the other.

Use Haiku however you want, hack it as much as you need (or more if you find that fun), call yourself however you want as long as it isn’t pronounced the same as “Microsoft Windows fan”.

In French it would probably be something like Haikuistes ? In English, I don’t know, I’ll leave it to the native speakers :slight_smile:

Only a true Haikuza would deny the existence of the Haikuza!

I agree completely, and I’m guessing everybody else would agree as well. There is no distinction whatsoever, no tiers or anything. I think this thread is basically just for fun - or at least that’s how I interpret it.

What if I use Linux, Mac OS, Haiku and Windows? What does that make me?

Indecisive? :laughing:

Fair enough, although I was hoping for something more colourful. Like, let’s say freak, or “OS polygamist” :slight_smile:

On a slightly serious note, indecisive isn’t actually true. I just use what I think is the best tool for a specific task. With a preference for open source OS when in doubt.

How about Beings? :slight_smile:
