Dave, I share this association as well! In fact, when we plot performance results on a graph, or 50 graphs, and then mark change points with a red dot, it reminds me of how trails in the woods might be marked with red dots on trees and fence posts.
All of the forest spirits of Finland, Tapio, Mielikki (and Nyyrikki) share this aspect as well. They would help a wanderer (or hunter) find their way back home. For whatever reason I'm not particularly excited about "suunnistus"... It reminds me of mosqituous and cold rain... But in the same spirit, may I suggest "Otava". Otava is the most distinguishable star constellation in the Finnish sky. In English known as the Big Bear. It was crucial for... (drumroll) ... navigation (whether on the sea or in a forest) because its tail points directly to the North Star. Also the stars themselves visually look like change points on a graph, so the logo is there for free. Apache Otava is quite a tongue twister though. But I believe common usage would be just Otava. henrik On Thu, Dec 12, 2024 at 12:43 AM Dave Fisher <w...@apache.org> wrote: > Random thought from this peanut - > > Hunter is a bit like Orienteering - "a competitive sport in which > participants find their way to various checkpoints across rough country > with the aid of a map and compass, the winner being the one with the lowest > elapsed time." > > The Finnish word for that according to Google translate is “Suunnistus” > > > On Dec 11, 2024, at 1:41 PM, mck <m...@semb.wever.org> wrote: > > > > From the sidelines, I'd be inclined to show support for something that > alludes quickly to CPD or performance regression testing.
