Community, I know I have been disengaged lately from the project and I probably do not deserve a voice here. However, I would like to ask you for your forgiveness if I do say something that is out of place, wrong or even offensive, it is not my intention.
In my opinion, these three names sound awful. I think we should do better marketing about it. It feels that we are going to lose a lot of good branding with OpenContrail. Maybe going under Linux Foundation is not the best option for this open-source project. I know a lot of people have invested a lot of effort on making this project part of the LF but again, just feel that we are going to lose a lot. Maybe we could negotiate with Juniper, they were the ones deciding open-source it, maybe they are willing to change the name of the enterprise version. These are just my thoughts. Thanks for reading and understanding my opinion.

We've started the ball rolling by coming up with a slate of names that we've preliminarily vetted with trademark counsel. That process has yielded three names that we are reasonably confident can pass the more stringent trademark test that is presently underway. Now, we need your help. We've set up a Google Form poll to gather community input on which of these three names might be most preferred by a plurality of members. Please follow the link below https://goo.gl/forms/dj7xIlsXowVez4wI2<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__goo.gl_forms_dj7xIlsXowVez4wI2&d=DwMGaQ&c=DS6PUFBBr_KiLo7Sjt3ljp5jaW5k2i9ijVXllEdOozc&r=G0XRJfDQsuBvqa_wpWyDAUlSpeMV4W1qfWqBfctlWwQ&m=qaoUKbChW9HuoasYBHB1F16Igz5yMGcga5w_YLYZ0L0&s=K7KNLYV0FYVu4UDiY3vjt_7On1xO76CZ96nn-FK-Sno&e=> and complete the poll per the instructions there. Voting is open through 08:00 UTC on Thursday, February 15. We'll announce the winner next week, pending the aforementioned trademark counsel review. Thanks for participating! Greg
