I consider another name change from Kot. Academy to Kt. Academy. We already have domain kt.academy. Comments?

[robin]

Well the German community for one would certainly welcome this change, as "Kot" literally means "feces" in German 😁

[marcinmoskala]

Yes, I already know that

[hho]

much much better

[marcinmoskala]

The question is more like if you like the new name. Looks good, not used by anything connected to programming. Only by some tennis/squash school but "Kt Academy" not "Kt. Academy". I cannot find anything against Kt shortcut 😛 And for me it sounds good.

[robin]

Yeah, agreed! Sounds good. Just a side question, any reason you decided against just "Kotlin Academy"?

[marcinmoskala]

Violates Kotlin trademark

Kt Academy is better than kot academy.
Academy KT is maybe even better :D

[marcinmoskala]

@jmfayard No such domain. It would have to be academykt.com. What is more important though is that I want to closely reference to previous names to keep brand recognition. Also Logo presents K and A.

[marcinmoskala]

I thought about kot.ac as an alternative, but might still be a bit funny for 🇩🇪

[jmfayard]

Yes it was not supposed to be an actual domain.
Kotac is bad, kt Academy or Academy kt is good IMHO

[marcinmoskala]

Reading is like "Kei Ti Academy". Close to Katy. Though it is a nice name.

[marcinmoskala]

Last time there was also an idea "Akotemy"

[jmfayard]

ah ah, katy academy is nice

[indyfromoz]

Even if it ends up with Kt.Academy, people will perhaps say It as "Kay Tee Academy" which sounds lot better than "Kot Academy". "KT" rhymes well with the file suffix we use for Kotlin source files.
