Re: [VOTE] Change name of Lucene Connectors Framework to Apache Connectors Framework
There may be trademark issues with Manifold, so although it enjoys support in the community, it may be unacceptable for that reason. Also, it was not the actual winner of the vote, and so we do need to go through the proper process, seems to me. If ACF is rejected, then we'll have to properly vette Apache Manifold as the next step. http://www.manifold.net/index.shtml Karl On Thu, Sep 9, 2010 at 8:57 AM, ant elder wrote: > On Thu, Sep 9, 2010 at 1:32 PM, Karl Wright wrote: > > > Grant proposed that we simply go from LCF to ACF at that time, and > > posted accordingly to this group.

Looking at the vote result of options [1] Apache Manifold is the second highest choice and has a good amount of support and is far less contentious than ACF so why not just go with that? I agree with Upayavira's comment [2] - while it may not be down to the IPMC to veto a name the board may well do so.

Re: [VOTE] Change name of Lucene Connectors Framework to Apache Connectors Framework
Perhaps some clarification is in order, explaining where we are and how we got here, and the procedures the podling followed to come up with the current proposal. I especially want to address the concern that we've been ignoring the advice of the incubator. Here is a short history, for those unfamiliar: (1) Lucene Connectors Framework was voted into incubation in January of this year, ostensibly as a future subproject of Lucene. (2) At Lucene/Solr Eurocon, in May, Grant let it be known that in his (and other people's) opinion, LCF was too broad to be properly just a Lucene subproject, and that its status as a planned Lucene subproject would probably need to change. (3) In August, I was approached to write a book on this project, and I realized that that would be very difficult to do if the name issue was not settled. Grant proposed that we simply go from LCF to ACF at that time, and posted accordingly to this group. He received several positive responses, and only one that raised any concerns. After a week's delay, we presumed that all was well, and went ahead with an extensive renaming exercise. (4) In late August, several folks from this list raised strong objections to the name. Our podling recognized that, and began gathering many suggestions for names both descriptive and abstract. It became apparent to me at that time that the Apache community is actually quite strongly divided between those who prefer abstract names and those who prefer descriptive ones. Indeed, the Apache naming guidelines also play homage to both approaches. (5) In early September, the gathered names were put to a vote on the connectors-dev list. The number of naming candidates was roughly 15, and included descriptive names, abstract names, and animal names - the best we could come up with in two weeks' worth of discussion. Everyone on that list was informed of the incubator concerns about descriptive names. Everyone was also informed that Apache is always the first part of the name. Nevertheless, the final results still had Apache Connectors Framework as the lead choice. Given the informal response this choice had received before, Grant chose to present it for a formal vote, with the understanding that should it fail, we would then call votes on other high-scoring candidates from the voted list. Hope this helps. If our procedures seem incorrect, please advise. Karl On Thu, Sep 9, 2010 at 8:06 AM, James Carman wrote: > I'm -1 (don't know if it's binding or not.

I'm -1 (don't know if it's binding or not. I requested to join the PMC, but didn't hear anything back). I think the name is too general.

Re: [VOTE] Change name of Lucene Connectors Framework to Apache Connectors Framework
I think the name is too generic and don't care for it - but as long as its not offensive or in use elsewhere then this should be up to the project to decide and the IPMC should stay out.

Thinking this through, while the Incubator PMC may have /some/ say in the name of a project, the real test is when it comes to graduation. At that point, the project creation resolution will go in front of the board, and they will have final say as to whether this project gets created, and whether with the name proposed (see resolution for Axis project, nee Axis2). So, the big question about a podling name is really not a question of what is the project called during incubation, but rather what will it be called once it has graduated. (Another interpretation: it ain't finally up to the incubator PMC.) Just a reflection that I hope helps in some way.

I have mentioned before, the wording of your request to change suggests that your are removing the word 'Lucene' and replacing it with the word 'Apache' . This is misleading and wrong. 'Apache' is a given, in both scenarios. You are changing from: 'Lucene Connectors Framework' to 'Connectors Framework' That could also be written as: 'Apache Lucene Connectors Framework' to 'Apache Connectors Framework' One or the other, don't mix the two, its misleading.

Agree. I'd rather see either a more abstract name or one that is more focused / less likely to be confused with JCA, Tomcat, or any other type of "connector" that might come down the road later.
