I've shared this feedback with Jesus prior to the proposal but would like to do here as well. This project is trying to make multiple open source projects work together. It would be nice to see representation from multiple of those communities. I feel that true success of this project is heavily influenced by its acceptance of multiple communities, not just those hailing from one.
The name is a problem in that that it suggests inappropriate ties with both OneLake and OneHouse, commercial products in the same space backed by two companies the initial ipmc hail from. Normally I would be fine with the typical "find a new name during incubation" process but the market this technology is within is filled with fud and vitriol between the backers of the multiple open source projects and I think it would be best if the incubating project name had a placeholder name as opposed to something that suggests any ASF sponsorship of vendor technologies. I cynically suspect that if this is accepted we would then see one or more vendors start writing about how ASF is backing OneTable before the renaming would occur. Let's keep corporate influence out of this project from the start.
