Hi Atri, all, *Re: podling name search* That sub-process was initiated and concluded successfully back when we started the incubation process (see [1]). However, given the time passed since then your suggestion is a good one. I will reach out to Apache Brand Management, and find out whether we should redo the search. I will post results of that discussion here (in this ml).
