While we hear from Puppetlabs about the trademark potential issue, I would like to run a vote for a name that does not contain `Puppet`, so we can go ahead on the governance thing. I took all proposals on the etherpad [1] and created a poll that will close on next Tuesday 3pm, just before our weekly meeting so we will make it official. Anyone is welcome to vote: http://civs.cs.cornell.edu/cgi-bin/vote.pl?id=E_6c81ad92b71422d6&akey=f2e85294f17caa9a Any feedback on the vote itself is also welcome.
