Small correction. The TC had not indicated that Ceilometer could be named "OpenStack Telemetry" and Heat could be named "OpenStack Orchestration". We formally asked[1] the board to allow (or disallow) that naming (or more precisely, that use of the trademark). [1] https://github.com/openstack/governance/blob/master/resolutions/20131106-ceilometer-and-heat-official-names We haven't got a formal and clear answer from the board on that request yet. I suspect they are waiting for progress on DefCore before deciding. If you need an answer *now* (and I suspect you do), it might make sense to ask foundation staff/lawyers about using those OpenStack names with the current state of the bylaws and trademark usage rules, rather than the hypothetical future state under discussion. -- Thierry Carrez (ttx) _______________________________________________ OpenStack-dev mailing list OpenStack-dev@lists.openstack.org http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
