The current guidelines are simply to avoid clashes, adn that guideline
cited the nameprotect.com utility which is now a pay-for-use facility.
I personally find googling a project far more useful, and there appear
to be no conflicts with your new proposal, other than the fact that another
project, Echo, seems to have floated the same potential name. As long
as we clarify with them that they haven't/won't adopt that project name
we should be fine.
The end goal is little to no ambiguity when someone googles a given ASF
project, after hearing something about it that attracts their interest.
We don't want any project to be lost in the noise.

hi -- I guess I am a little confused. It is very possible that any name can
fall into an area that may conflict. Are the guidelines or a branding process
for new projects?

We should probably check with that group that they discarded that choice.

The name can go to Apache Lokahi

Beyond the mark issue, it really seems like there are far too many hits on
Ohana project, Ohana software e.t.c. to easily distinguish this name.
Does anyone else consider this a showstopper and time to pick another name?
Neil, what are your thoughts, as it's primary champion?

project name, I think we shouldn't have any issues. Is "Apache Ohana"
enough
of a multiword mark, though?
I believe so. -- justin
