Re: Logo proposal for the Marmotta incubating project
We know that "Apache Project Branding Requirements" [1] applies to top-level projects. Does the podling have to follow the same ? The contributors followed "Podling name search guide" while they were making the proposal. Can a podling do the official name search [2] which they can use to become TLP later at anytime during the podling ?

Once the formal warning is issued, it can be processed by the clutch [1] and also show the elapsed time. In 3 months, 6 months, 9 months mentors and IPMC can decide whether to remove the warning or not. After one year, if there is no significant change and the goals are not archived, IPMC can easily decide in favor of retirement because they know the history of the issue. At the same time, every three months until retirement PPMC will be notified that they are still under the warning (I think this is somewhat happening even now, as I've seen from Jukka's replies to the board reports), so they will have reasonable time to take action. Of course, we don't need a process like this in the case of the PPMC unanimously agree for retirement. Best Regards, Nandana [1] - http://incubator.apache.org/clutch.html

Re: [PROPOSAL] Apache Linda
Hi, > out of curiosity - how does this relate to or maybe even complement Eclipse > Lyo [1]? For instance is Lyo one of the Enterprise Linked Data scenarios > which you have been mentioning above? > > [1] http://www.eclipse.org/lyo/ > Eclipse Lyo is focused on OSLC (Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration) . OSLC tries to solve to the issue [1] of integrating variety application life-cycle management (ALM) tools using the Linked Data principles. To do so, they define a set of specifications [2] including a core specifications and a specification to each of the different domains in ALM (eg. requirement management, change management, quality management, etc.) that define a minimum common vocabulary needed for integration and some additional features required for tool integration like "delegated UI", "Resource Shape", and a simplified query syntax. There is an overlap of OSLC Core and LDP specifications as both of them define a basic protocol for Linked Data based applications. According to the wiki of OSLC Core specification [3], "work is current advancing on version 3.0 and alignment with W3C member submission on Linked Data Basic Profile and the work of the W3C Linked Data Platform working group". Currently Lyo provides [4] a Java (and Perl) SDK for OSLC, a set of reference implementatons for each domain like Change Management, and an OLSC test suite. IMHO, you are right, OSLC is one of the Enterprise Linked Data scenarios. The main difference I see is that Eclipse Lyo is focused on Application Life-cycle Management domain where as LDP / Marmotta project will provide a more general purpose LDP implementation where wide variety of Linked Data applications (Enterprise, Open Data, exposing legacy data, etc.) can be built. Depending on how things progress and the choice of the Lyo community, Lyo might be able to use Marmotta for adapting LDP.

Re: [PROPOSAL] Apache Linda
I have to say when I heard the name "Linda", I really liked it because it is short, catchy, easy to remember and goes well with Linked Data. But I totally agree that it is good to avoid any name conflict issues or trademark issues in this early stage where it is easily possible. I was thinking whether LindaWeb or WebLinda would be an alternative choice.
