Hi Julian, Well even if it is possible to vote on changing a name, I would strongly suggest to reconsider doing so. Here the reasons:
Changing the name would require us to: - Update all Maven coordinates - Update all documentation - Update all packages in the project - Rename/Recreate all code repos and mirrors - Rename/Recreate all mailinglists - Rename/Recreate Jira Project - Rename/Recreate Confluence Project - Rename/Recreate Jenkins Jobs - Re-Do a Podling-Name-Search And another thing ... Edgent started as "Quarks" but was already renamed once in the past. I don’t think it's a great idea to do this again. And I have to admit that I quite like the name as it fits perfectly for a platform for Edge computing.

As most of you may know, we are currently starting to “revive” the project with a totally new team, as the old community somehow went lost (I think there was a big engagement of IBM which was drastically reduced, this may be one of the reasons). So if we achieve to grow the community again and revive the project with some ideas I ask myself if it would not be good to discuss of the name. As this name was chosen by the “former” (P)PMC with their ideas and use cases they had in mind I wonder if it is possible for a podling to change its name? If this is theoretically possible, I would give us some months to see how we proceed and if we have the impression that we have a vital community growing, then I would start a formal vote for that and also start discussion about new names. Perhaps our Mentors Chris and Justin can comment on that? Thanks Julian
