"The word literally means "great O"

"Omega (the last letter of the Greek alphabet) is often used to denote 
the last, the end, or the ultimate limit of a set".

I would like for it to be considered the official RPM Fusion spin.  I 
posted the kickstart file for feedback before but everybody seemed busy 
with other things at that point so I just went ahead and got the ball 
rolling.  The current version is at

ftp://ftp.infradead.org/pub/spins/

I would like the name of the spin to be different from the repository 
just to identify what we are talking about quickly.

If you let me know which groups, I can get in touch with them. I am sure 
we can work on common issues such as 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=464756

No offence taken.
