Hi,

Some of the answer be be obvious here to someone who works on the project, and 
already been discussed and sorted on your mailing list. So apologies if that 
the case, I’m not involved with your project, so I’m just asking to get clarity.

A google search turns up mention of “IBM OpenWhisk” and a logo very similar to 
the OpenWhisk one. e.g [1] Is the project aware of and dealing with the 
branding/trademark issues here? Is this just left over from before the project 
entered incubation?

The also a lot of pages that refer to "Bluemix OpenWhisk” e.g [4] on the IBM 
website. Or this page with “OpenWhisk” [5] in the URL and title but no clear 
mention it’s an Apache product.

If I google search for Openwhisk and cloud I see this result in google:

IBM Cloud
https://www.ibm.com/cloud
Open source. Quicklinks. All open source projects · Tutorials and training. Try 
OpenWhisk on Bluemix. Get started with serverless, event-driven computing in 
the …

Again Apache is not mentioned.

Are you concerned that this may make people think that OpenWhisk in not an 
Apache product and give the impression that it's owned by IBM?

I can also see that IBM has a number of gtihub repos using the name OpenWhisk, 
what’s the plan for them?

I notice you docker images (which are labeled as part of the ASF but oddly use 
the openwhisk.org domain) [6] seem to pull down the latest code rather than 
approved released version. Do you think this is in line with ASF release policy?

Thanks,
Justin
