Hi all,

we have had a brainstorming round and came up with the suggestion "Apache 
Marmotta" as a new name. We looked a bit and the name seems not to be taken yet, so 
there would probably no legal issues with the name.

Why "Marmotta"? It is Italian for "marmot", one of the predominant animals in the 
mountains around us. It also is very social (i.e. "links") and digs deep tunnels (looks for data). 
It is more or less easy to pronounce (only contains a and o as vowels and no unpronouncible combinations). 
The animal itself has typically a very positive association (cute) and would also provide easy branding with 
images and logos.

What do you think?

Greetings,

Sebastian

For Marmot (English spelling, added by Google as I am in the UK) found:

http://www.lrz.de/services/software/parallel/marmot/

http://burlymarmot.com/ - a software company.

which is a different spelling so helps differentiate.
