Nechtan sounds cool also. Please note, in the german wikipedia its translated with "The tremendousness". This is not noted on the english wikipedia. After reading wikipedia I am still not sure what Nechtan stands for. But I like its sound.

I just found "Sirona", goddess of healing. Because monitoring is "identifying the sickness before its getting worse". However, Sirona is used by companies related to healing (aka dental works).

What I found interesting is this page claims Merlin being a god:
http://wicca.com/celtic/wicca/celtic.htm
of protecting, counseling, crystal reading and so.

A few projects use Merlin, but all are very small ant not related to monitoring. There is a project management software called marlin: http://www.projectwizards.net/de/merlin/

I believe we currently have:

Apache Leitstand
Apache Nechtan
Apache Merlin
Apache Sirona
Apache Heimdall
Apache Dagr

Cheers

Why not try Celtic mythology.... I was thinking "Apache Nechtan" due to the association with access to knowledge and floods... but heck I am not good

I also see thor is being used by infra:
status.apache.org

(mentioning, because it has been proposed as name too).

However, it's not so bad. I actually mixed up Baldur with Heimdall, who is the actual "protector" of Bifröst. Baldur was more known because he was
able to return from Hel (sounds like a good name for a server ;-)
A quick crosscheck told me Heimdall is not used that often.

For those who were concerned about using nordic godnames: Heimdall was
named as the "father of all humans".

He was also known for his horn Gjallarhorn which he blew when danger
appeared. Most notable he blew that horn when Ragnarökr (the end of our
time and the fall of the gods) starts.

I imagine the sound of a horn when critical notification of the tool
happens ;-)

Another idea i just had was "Dagr". It old norsk for "Day". In old myths Dagr is the son of night and he rides his horse Skinfaxi through heaven. The crest of the horse lights the earth with golden shimmer. I imagine
Apache Dagr to shed light on the dark corners of our applications.


Heck, when I was young i read a lot about northern mythology. Its so
poetic. I should spend some time to read again.

Baldr is fine with me, my only concern is the similarity to Apache

Just a heads up from infra; baldr.apache.org is already very much a
thing, and has been for more than five years. If it can be avoided, we'd really appreciate it if we can keep the name Baldr for our infrastructure.

With regards,

So what about Baldr?
BTW we can start incubation using Monitoring then change the name for
TLP?
WDYT?

I would like to throw in this document:
http://www.apache.org/**foundation/marks/naming.html<http://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/naming.html>

We should make a few tests already before we start the process

officially.


here is the current list, i felt so free to add a few comments already.

- CoMon
There is "Common Software", a company. We might have a trademarks
problem because of similarity.

- Leitstand
Not sure if I like the sound :-), but did not find any repositories at github. From the meaning, a Leitstand is usually something were you can adjust things (more power, less steam and so on). Monitoring would be only a part of it. But on the other hand, it expresses things well and
it is a unused word so far.

- Thor
Great name, great god, but unfortunately a lot of people use that name
for their code :-(

- Balder / Baldur, also possible: Baldr
I haven't see a lot with that name, but we need to check this more in
detail.

From that perspective, Leitstand would be the best catch from a unique

point of view. I like Baldr very much from that meaning.

Lets see if there are more names the next days.

Why not "CoMon"? Remind commons monitoring, that's fun and closer to
english so easier to propagate IMO.

So if German is en vogue already, I'd propose "Apache Leitstand"

which
means "control room". I think it would make also a nice name when pronounced in English. This of course only works if the GUI is an
important
piece of the project, which is the case if I understood correctly.

So It looks we have more interested folks.

But before starting the vote I'd like to find an other name for the
project.
Someone proposed "Baldur" or "Balder" (note, It's a popular
germanic
god). So as a French guy this proposition looks to be rude for me

:-).

More seriously, this name doesn't hurt me.
If any other propositions, it's time to speak.

Hi

Angular is great but i hope well keep extensibility possible

without

js.

In

all case well get at least a thread on it to discuss about the

stack we

want and well use ;)

Looking forward to that discussion ;) I'd prefer progressive

enhancement

over SPAs in this context as well. Or even http://roca-style.org.
