One Response to “Worst conference acronymn ever? MOIST”
If they were smart, they would call it the Montreal International Software Testing (MIST) conference. That took me about 2 seconds to come up with because it is the obvious way to create an acronym, and it has the secondary effect of being a valid word and the tertiary effect of being a pleasant word.
In other words, someone went out of their way to name this conference MOIST. From this, I conclude that Canadians hate testing.
