[LEDE-DEV] [OpenWrt-Devel] Remerge logo ideas

[Carlos Ferreira]

Julian, thank you for the correction. I truly thought that WRT was
from Wireless Router. I stand corrected :)

Bill, I understand that it would be a risk to change the name. I don't
mind that the project continues to use the OpenWRT brand. I just was
pointing out that it doesn't truly reflects what it is being used
today.

Let me give you an example.

About 3-4 years ago, when I was starting my PhD, I decided to use
OpenWRT to power about 32 VM's inside my computer. I wanted to test a
distributed network protocol that I had been developing for some time
in Python. Since OpenWRT has such a low memory footprint, It was the
perfect environment for me. I could test the network protocol with a
real linux kernel in a virtual network environment, having only 8GB of
RAM on the host.

I got to test the protocol and it worked. Then I used it in some SBC's
also with OpenWRT.
