Jeremy R:

Hi! I am really liking Backstage, but one thing that gets me is the lack of team name consistency (at least in 2U)… is there a way to have teams to have some sort of prefix to know where they come from? I find a name format like “2u-aperture” to be easy to sort on, if one wanted to understand the gamut of 2u ownership…

Kyle:

I believe the names come from GitHub teams, which would mean the question becomes "Can we rename all the GitHub teams using some convention?" Which is a strong yes from me but maybe there are some downstream consequences I'm not thinking of. I'll bring this up in tCRIL's standup today.

We talked in standup and agreed this was a good idea.
