I would like to propose the name “Folktale" as in simple stories about people, told by people. In one view, the project is about capturing users’ stories as they pass through web media. In another, to me the project vision has always been longer reaching than describing use, but about understanding people and how navigate through information. Our process level perspective made me think about “stories”—people, places and things connected in a narrative. Our technology collects, abstracts, and distributes those stories to other interested services, which make me think about how folktales are passed along. It’s an approachable name, friendly, and… doesn’t result in any hits for marks on USPTO. Stories always go better with ALE. The proposed name would therefore be Apache Folktale (Incubating)
From a marketing perspective, I’m thinking about etching like images of 19th century folks at a pub with a pint. > On Oct 11, 2018, at 12:43 PM, lewis john mcgibbney <lewi...@apache.org> wrote: > > Hi Folks, > This thread opens the NOMINATIONS for new candidate names to replace Apache > SensSoft (Incubating) with... something else! > !!
