The Infra team has been brainstorming and collecting feedback in https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/infra-services-naming as to what actual name/domain the Winterscale effort will use. If you've not been following along, the earlier discussions can be found in the following mailing list threads:
http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-infra/2018-May/005957.html http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-infra/2018-July/006010.html So far the "short list" at the bottom of the pad seems to contain only one entry: OpenDev. The OpenStack Foundation has offered to let us take control of opendev.org for this purpose if we would like. They have it mainly as a defensive registration to protect the OpenDev Conference brand, but use a separate opendevconf.org domain for that at present. The opendev.org domain is just sitting parked on the same nameservers as openstack.org right now, not in use for anything. The brand itself has a positive connotation in the community so far, and the OpenDev Conferences share a lot of similar goals (bringing communities of people together to collaborate openly on design and development activities) so this even provides some useful synergy around the name and possible promotional tie-ins with the events if we like. I know lots of us are eager to move forward on the rebranding, so I wanted to wake this discussion back up and try to see if we can drive it to a conclusion. As we continue to take on hosting for additional large projects, having somewhere for them to send the contributors and users in their community which has a distinct identity unclouded by OpenStack itself will help make our services much more welcoming. If you don't particularly like the OpenDev idea or have alternatives you think might achieve greater consensus within our team and present a better image to our extended community, present and future, please update the above mentioned pad or follow up to this mailing list thread. Thanks! -- Jeremy Stanley
