I'm sorry to report, as I was preparing projects/ohana.xml, that I've come
across

  http://www.cfht.hawaii.edu/Instruments/Elixir/Ohana/

in a simple search of "ohana program" on google :-/

Brings up another question, why are we still pointing our template.xml for
the project to look at nameprotect.com, when that now seems to be a paid only
service?  At least the uspto.gov TESS site is free.

So looking on TESS, 76185236 OHANA and 76185337 OHANA PLUS are marks by
Ceira Technologies, now abandonded.  75934759 OHANA FOUNDATION is the mark by
Ohana Foundation for Technical Development, now abandonded.

There are several more marks with OHANA that are live but don't affect software.
However, there is one technical mark, 78594546 CALL OHANA which could become an
issue, as it's in a not-too-distant family.  If this project were a multiword
project name, I think we shouldn't have any issues.  Is "Apache Ohana" enough
of a multiword mark, though?

As I've said it before, TMC doesn't do the trick for me - plain MC
would do better to remove the Tomcat reference and eventually avoid
Apache The ... Of the two alternatives, I think the second is the better choice.


Sounds like the TMC name is out, "Ohana" is currently the front runner,
additional comments are appreciated.
Cheers,
