Since the name "ADF" can cause problems, we need to find a new name for the donation from Oracle.

Make sure that the name has no ties on other trademarks and it is not an Amerindian name

[Omar Tazi]

How about "Visages" which means Faces in french?

[Dirk Wilhelm]

The myfaces page has a picture in the upper left of the statues from the Easter Island. How about "Moai", which is the official name for these statues.

[Matthias Weßendorf]

What's with "Sequoia" ? That are old trees, found in the Yosemite national park ... :-)

[zpeedy]

What about "Shades", refering to sunglasses (phun intended).

Adrien-

thanks for your help, but no american indian name is wanted.

Thanks,
Matthias

[Martin Marinschek]

We can't take american indian names, the ASF doesn't want to go too far into this direction, sorry. We've been in the discussion due to tomahawk for quite a while ;)

How about calling it MyFaces Gold? It's a precious framework, right?

regards,

Martin

[Bruno Aranda]

And what about MyFaces Prophet (it is not an oracle, but a prophet) ;-)

There are many synonims of oracle [1].

Cheers,

Bruno

HI I would like to Suggest a name for it called "Apache Faces with My Oracle" or it would be better like MyFacesGold as suggested.

[Rogério Pereira Araújo]

From Brazil, i suggest:

Indian Tribes: Tupi
Indian Tribes Term: Anomatí (beyond)
Indian Tribes: Vapidiana
Indian Tribes: Xavante

 

[Danny Robinson]

How about 'Foxberry'

[Jonas Jacobi]

Japanees seem to be in favour at the moment, so how about

- Hikari

Hikari means "brilliance" or "light" in Japanese.

[Jonas Jacobi]

Other names that come in mind are from artists/painters:

Chagall
Picasso
Da Vinci

I would suggest:

Surface - (as it deals with the surface of the application)

or

Chameleon - (a reference to its hability to change its appearence -> skins)

[Fábio C. Rispoli]

Only to identify myself as the author of the 31/May/06 08:52 PM post.

[Ricardo Tercero Lozano]

Ok, you have 'tomahawk' and 'tobago'. Lets take a new 'to...' taste: 'Tofu'.

[Adam Winer]

Other "to..."s:

tokamak (toroidal device for fusion)
Tonga
Togo
toolkit/toolbox/toolshed
topaz
topiary
Torino
Toscanini
toucan
toyon (a California shrub)

... or we could reference tobago with "Trinidad".

[Matt Cooper]

+1 to a "to..." name

+1 to Topaz because the description over at http://www.gemstone.org/gem-by-gem/english/topaz.html seems very positive, check it out!

I know there is some amerindian reference but how about

"Sundance"?

http://www.crystalinks.com/sundance.html

It describes the trials of getting it through incubation, there is the obligatory "Sun"-reference and for someone unfamiliar with the ceremony it sounds joyful :-)

-Nik

[clemens utschig]

what about apache grapefruit - shiny, nice and healthy?

or apache shines (also implicit reference to apache :-D)

clemens

[Eric Haycraft]

I know this is late.. but how about 'Banten'. It is a province on the island of java.

Eric

Regarding the "Sundance"-name, I just learned that "sundanese" happens to be an ethnic group on the island of Java ;-)

- Nik

[Matthias Weßendorf]

These names look ok to me:

Gold
Foxberry
Chagall
Chameleon
Tofu
Tonga
Togo
Toscanini
Trinidad
grapefruit
shines
Banten
toolkit/toolbox/toolshed

Question is, what is with very generic names?
Like Torino ?
 Which is a city in italy.

What about "MyFaces Impact" or "MyFaces Impact Components"

How about "ZUKU" ... derivative of Zukunft, "Future" in German and a special grade of high-carbon steel that the Japanese use for Samurai Swords. Zuku steel is known for its malleability and tensile strength.

Cheers,

Zubin.

[Balaji Kalyansundaram]

Hi All,

Can I please suggest

   Chaer - Indian (Tamil) word meaning - to combine/ merge.

Because ADF is going to combine with MyFaces, the word would be appropriate.

Thanks

Balaji

Apache Facelift?

-Nik

[Arnaud MERGEY]

I had problems with my mailbox so I think it is too late my proposal is:
 Apache Truth

[Fintan Conway]

How about
Hatchet or
Axe

since it is similar to a Tomahawk?

[Jeanne Waldman]

Facelift made me laugh, so I'd vote for it.
 - along those lines, Blush, Smile
Topaz is ok.
Sequoia is good, too, because anything that has to do with Yosemite gets my vote.
 - along those lines HalfDome, ElCap, Serenity (it's a climb and it sounds cool)

[SaschaC]

Sequoia is already the project name of a very popular database clustering technology, formerly named C-JDBC

http://sequoia.continuent.org/HomePage

[SaschaC]

>> because anything that has to do with Yosemite gets my vote.
how about Yosemite then? :D

*just kidding*

[Joseph Rozier]

You know, Serenity has a few things going for it:

- it's got the whole geek-cred thing from Firefly
- it matches Faces because "serene face" is a common expression
- Jeanne thinks it sounds cool

On the downside, there is at least one software company (Serenity Systems) that uses the name.

[Glauco Pimentel Gomes]

Why not MyFaces Gift ???

[Martin Marinschek]

Cause you couldn't get a customer in Germany then ;) !

poison = Gift in German...

In any case, the vote has pretty much settled on Trinidad.

regards,

Martin

[Matthias Weßendorf]

a name has be elected.

Trinidad made it!

thanks for your help

[Alberto Marqués]

-rapanui, name island pascua.
-caras, faces in spanish language

[renato soccol]

I'd like TrueFaces
