ObjectWeb: New Name Quick Contest

[v2-name-contest@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Dear ObjectWeb Members,

As you know we are preparing to switch to ObjectWeb V2 within the next
few weeks.

The good news is that OrientWare is prepared to merge with us in order to
jointly create the new consortium.

As a result, we are considering adopting a new name for the new
organization. At the third OWV2 workshop, last Tuesday in Roma, we
decided to launch a quick contest within the OW community.

We have less than two weeks to find this new name! I know marketing and
communication specialists will frown at such short notice, but that is
the way it is.

Here is the contest and its very simple rules:

Deadline:
Saturday November 18.

Send anwsers to:
v2-name-contest@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Constraints:
New name should be short and punchy, 6-7 letters maximum, easy to
pronounce in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese and French. New name
should of course have no offensive meaning in any language of the world.
The .org should be available

Answers format:
1) Name Proposal
2) Why this name: Meaning or Reference (explain in no more than two lines)
3) Your contact details

Hints:
New name could refer to "open source middleware" and/or "virtual
computing environment".

Prize:
Fame is the reward. We will write a story about the the winner who will
be given due credit on the consortium web site.

At the moment, we intend to keep the same mesh logo and graphical
identity. Only the name might change.

Thank you for your participation!
