[Kolab-devel] Does the Kolab name have Mormon references?

[Kelly McNeill]

Hello,

I posted this question in a discussion board on the 
KDE.NEWS web site in response to an article about the 
Kolab project.

If any of you have an answer, I sure would like to hear 
it.

A somewhat unknown part of the Mormon religion is that the 
universe is modeled after what we know as a solar 
system... in essence the entire universe is rotating 
within a fixed orbit. In the same way that the Sun is the 
center of our solar system, the universe is rotating 
around its own massive object. Mormon theology suggests 
this object is an ULTRA massive planet (or Sun?) that is 
so large is would cause the entire universe to rotate 
around it. The name of this massive planet /sun object is 
Colab (or Kolab... I'm not sure about the spelling).

Initially I would have thought the name was merely 
coincidental, but the Kolab logo causes me to think 
otherwise because it includes imagery of smaller objects 
orbiting around a larger one..

Are there Mormon influences within the Kolab project?

If the planet's real name is indeed Colab (with a C) and 
recognizing the trend in all words starting with K that 
are associated with KDE, was the name changed to adhere to 
the naming trend?

(I run a tech news site named osViews.com AKA 
osOpinion.com. If any of you have a response for me, I 
would like to include your feedback in a future editorial 
to be published on the site. If you choose to respond, 
could you specify whether or not your comment can be 
republished on the site?

Thank you.
