Kim, I am not an Incubator PMC member, but past experience over the last few months shows that the name is not a barrier to entry for the Incubator. For example, ADFFaces is an incubating project with a name trademarked by Oracle, and part of the incubating process has to been to change that name to Trinidad. The name "Glasgow" may or may not need to be changed before graduation, but it is not going to prevent starting incubation.
There's certainly some strong opinions being presented here, but the naming issues deal more with graduation issues than incubator acceptance issues. On 8/7/06, Kim van der Riet <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I have been somewhat surprised at the amount of debate surrounding the name of the proposed Glasgow project. It seems that this project has become entangled in an issue overdue for discussion within Apache. Perhaps the emotive issue of using (another) proper noun has sparked a much-needed debate. I have even been a little confused by the seemingly contradictory posts about resolving the naming of the project prior to acceptance vs. solving the issue prior to graduation. Being new to the process of incubation and to Apache itself, I would very much appreciate some clarification of the following regarding Glasgow: Do we need to change our name now or after acceptance? The project undertakes to abide by any policy or naming decision and make any necessary name changes. If need be, we could even open a separate thread, pre- or post-incubation-acceptance, for the purpose of finding an acceptable name, and invite all those who wish to do to to contribute. Some clear guidelines would be very helpful. Kim van der Riet Hopeful future (Glasgow) committer RedHat
