The name of the system

 

"What in the world could an eEducation system have to do with 'Blues'?"

You are possibly asking yourself, why call it Blues? Don't worry, you are not alone - many people have already asked us this question!

First, Well, most people feel slightly sad - or blue(s) - when a company goes out of business (see history), which in our case is what happened to JaTeK GmbH.
Second, What rhymes with Blue - GNU! For us this is particularly relevant since we decided to make BluES Open Source software. You already know something about GNU, and it's an easy name to remember. Now you know something about BluES too!
Third, and if all this is too complicated, just remember that "B" comes ahead of "C" - and BluES is implemented using the Java programming language, not C!

 

And last but not least: You can just remember our official slogan:

BluES like universal eEducation System.
