[open-science] project name openscienceASAP

[Iryna Kuchma]

Dear Stefan,

I don't know how important this is for you, but ASAP is also the name of
the Accelerating Science Award Program (ASAP), which recognizes the use of
scientific research, published through Open Access, that has led to
innovations in any field that benefit society (sponsored by 27
organizations, including major sponsors Public Library of Science (PLOS),
Wellcome Trust and Google): http://asap.plos.org/. I am worried that it
might create some confusions between your project and this award.

Best wishes,
Iryna
