Funnily enough, "calla" means "shut up" in Spanish.
Can't wait to try this with my co-workers. One of the big barriers for remote casual conversation is the spatiality, since all video conference systems are focused on a single speaker.

- moron4hire 6y agoYeah, someone told me that a few weeks ago. Calla is a type of lilly. I name all of my projects after plants. Originally, I named this project "Lozya", which is the Hungarian word for "vines", because Jitsi is the Hungarian word for "wires". But nobody could pronounce it correctly, so I renamed it. Incidentally, I work for a foreign language instruction company. I brought it up with one of our teachers and she didn't think it was an issue. She said that, in context, it wouldn't be read as "shut up", that it's kind of like "lead" (to guide something) and "lead" (a metal) in English.
- kaoD 6y ago"Calla" is probably not an issue, but it's impossible for me to read it otherwise as a Spanish speaker. Not offensive or anything, just funny that a conference app tells me to shut up!
