(This is a discussion for the Calcite PMC, but I am using the dev list because 
there is no need for the conversation to be private.)

Avatica is currently just a library produced by the Apache Calcite project, not 
even formally a sub-project (some examples of sub-projects are Derby within 
Apache DB, and Solr within Lucene, but sub-projects are now discouraged).

So, I’m not sure whether it is appropriate to brand it “Apache Avatica” as I 
just saw on one site[1].

A reminder that it is our responsibility, as a PMC, to protect Apache's 
intellectual property by enforcing brands. We need to know what our brands are, 
then we need to reach out to people who are referencing our brands and make 
sure that they use them appropriately.

I am inclined to think that we should use “Avatica, a sub-project of Apache 
Calcite”. Or should we start pushing for “Apache Avatica”?
