Note that both Distil and Piper do have some hits, that could potentially be of concern. There is a Piper software that runs on the Raspberry Pi (see the end of this email)
Here is my inclination at this point: Vote on the following names, after reading through the potential issues which I will lay out more carefully on the wiki: Anemone Distil Pipir Edgant Kinaara Fledge My opinion is to remove Ejji from the list unless someone can interpret the Japanese characters in the global trademark database. The PMC already removed Tringa from the list. If anyone has a significant uniqueness issue with these names and wants them removed, please say so. We have already had multiple rounds of voting, but I think we need to come up with something the community is comfortable with and the PMC will support. My idea is to provide all of the relevant information, call a vote where everyone may pick one choice, and then go to the PMC. Starting with the number 1 vote, the PMC will decide if they are comfortable with the uniqueness, then number 2, etc until we have one we are willing to submit to the suitable naming committee. Distil: Google - Distil Networks - Blocking bots and web scraping - http://www.distilnetworks.com/ https://distill.engineyard.com/ - Distill a conference on the essence of development Bing - Distil technologies - consulting group http://distiltech.com/ US Trademark - furniture, personal care products Global trademark search - none Github - 290 results with variations on distill and distillery. The most popular was https://github.com/raulfraile/distill - smart compressed file extractor for PHP If I search on Distill it gets into web sites on making alcohol. Here is what I found on Distil and Piper. I will organize these searches a bit more on the wiki and report back here later this evening. I don't think we need to have an answer that has no hits at all, but we do need to consider whether the hits are likely to be a conflict for our software when thinking about uniqueness. I've seen names in the suitable name search database that were approved and had hits. Piper Google - Piper Software - https://www.ihs.com/products/piper-gas-asset-modeling-forecasting-software.html, Allows integration of gas assets https://www.rockware.com/product/overview.php?id=150 - Software for Piper diagrams which has to do with water anlysis Bitcoin software for raspberry pi http://cryptographi.com/pages/what-is-piper Security System https://getpiper.com/ US Trademark - ( 436 records found) Computer Application software for mobile devices, entertainment services, herbicides, homeowners associations, alcoholic beverages, golf clubs, hand tools, air craft, turning rolls, champagne, and lots of variations on the word piper.
