This voting opportunity will expire at the end of the working day on Friday, EDT. This is good so far, but I'd suggest to slow up. We should now check out the suitability of the name. My association of the word is a (now defunct) rail company serving the south of England, so no conflict there. But, googling for connex software gives me a few options. It is almost as if there are so many connex this and connex that, that it doesn't matter if we use it too. Let's explore whether there are conflicts, and only then, vote on it.

Re: [VOTE] Rename Apache Connectors Framework to Connex
The names were supposed to have been vetted by those submitting them? That was part of the submission rules. Ok, let me go do some research on Connex myself...

Re: [VOTE] Rename Apache Connectors Framework to Connex
It looks like there is a service mark HMS Connex. That's probably not a problem. BUT: ConneX is a pure p2p collaboration platform based on JXTA technologie. Open source, and available for download from SourceForge. For me, that pretty much nixes use of the name. Let me recalculate the totals with Jack's actual preferences and come up with the second choice, which I hope was vetted more carefully than this one.

Re: [VOTE] Rename Apache Connectors Framework to Connex
So, my official vote is -1. The name shouldn't have been a candidate from the start.
