Hi all-
I apologize for the gap in communication on our Proposal. Following
my summary post:
<http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-general/
200608.mbox/[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
and list discussion, I believe choosing a new name for the project and
then updating our Proposal are the last bits before we can ask for an
incubator vote.
We've been fairly consumed by our "Jini Community Meeting" event
last week in Brussels (see the Jini.org front page for links to info
from
the event), so again, I'm sorry for not getting this closed sooner so we
can move on and (hopefully) get going.
As we're all too familiar with :-o -- picking a name (that everyone
likes)
is hard. In order to get as many creative ideas as possible, and have a
defined process (so that it doesn't drag out) for making a decision...
we'd like to:
* Gather Name Ideas -- through Tuesday, Sept 26
Ask both the Apache incubator and Jini Community for name
ideas. In order to not consume the lists with name mail, if
you could
send me, [EMAIL PROTECTED] your name ideas, and optionally
your
reasoning/meaning behind the name. I'd really appreciate it.
For example:
name: "Eden" -- reminds me of Barbara Eden from "I Dream
of Genie"!
;-)
* Choose the New Name (voting) -- Thursday, Sept 28 through
Monday, Oct 2
We'll take the list of ideas, make sure they pass TM, etc and
select a "top
ten choices" that we'll put up for an open vote. Whatever
name is supported
the most by the vote is the one we'll choose for the project.
If these dates feel too tight we can be a little pliable, but we are
hoping
to update our Proposal and have the voting (start) before the upcoming
ApacheCon if possible.
There's obviously an endless amount of ways to go about picking a
name...
this might not be the best, but we wanted to engage the Apache incubator
and our existing Community in contributing. We're betting that with
everyone's
creative juices flowing - we're going to collectively come up with a
cool name
that represents the project well and that most people like. I hope
you'll give us
your support.
thanks -Jim
