Just an update and clarification to everyone:
*buntu names can be used only for INternal ubuntu projects.
Names that include *buntu can NOT be used by community projects.

We are seeking to become an official Ubuntu project. If this is
successful, it is HIGHLY likely we will use Gubuntu. To get there, we
have to get approval from a number of Ubuntu boards, mainly the
technical board. To get this, we have to prove our work is quality and
the project is sustainable. Then, we can get in to the Ubuntu universe,
in p-series (12.04) at the earliest.

Currently, we face issues with both quality and sustainability. We're
working on a new QA system and rewriting code the right way. We also
need a few more core devs so that the project doesn't just die for
months like it has.

** Description changed:

  Kde has Kubuntu. Xfce has Xubuntu. Lxde has Lubuntu. It only makes sense
  that GNOME follows in the same path with Gubuntu. With all due respect,
  "Ubuntu Gnome Remix" is long and boring.

+ Ubuntu/Canonical trademark rules:
+ *buntu names can be used only for INternal ubuntu projects.
+ Names that include *buntu can NOT be used by community projects like UGR.
