As Norwegian I should not really disagree on that name -- but Thor is already the name of lots of things, including at least two EU projecst https://project-thor.eu/ (Open Research interoperability) http://www.eu-thor.eu/ (Oceanography!) Apache Heyerdahl..? http://www.ssb.no/en/befolkning/statistikker/navn says: > There are 410 [Norwegians] with Heyerdahl as their surname (>200 meaning it is not a protected surname in .no :) And 111 businesses - just in Norway - several doing IT stuff: https://w2.brreg.no/enhet/sok/treffliste.jsp?navn=Heyerdahl&orgform=0&fylke=0&kommune=0 But we can discuss the proposal even if it has to change its name - that's OK to sort in the very beginning (but is very preferably community-wise to agree before actually moving to the Incubator). I think it sounds like an interesting proposal but wonders which consumers (and potential developers) it is targeting - I wonder about the strong link to Hortonworks and Hadoop -- is Concur relying on Hadoop, Hadoop might use Concur, or can Concur be used with many things, including Hadoop? I see https://github.com/hortonworks/concur is already using org.apache.raft (and before org.apache.hadoop.raft) as a package name - I find this approach for proposals a bit concerning trademark-wise; but then I didn't look closely if this started as a fork/pull request for Hadoop or similar? -- Stian Soiland-Reyes http://orcid.org/0000-0001-9842-9718 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
