Re: [mosig] [ossig] MOSIG: Formation of Company - InauguralMeeting 17th July 2004

["Raja Iskandar Shah" <ris.riscniaga@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

hi,

possum was my suggestion - since everything else sounded so serious. it
is actually an abbreviation for :

perniagaan open source software usahawan malaysia - or whatever that
fits the abbreviation.

dumb straight translation:

business open source software enterprenuers malaysia

since linux has the penguin, postgresql has the elephant. so possum will
probably be a nice addition to the zoo.

possum also has the interesting initials - oss and m for malaysia.

googling for the following words gave up some really interesting references:

possum

possum open source

possum malaysia  (which gave some references to possum stew)
