• Type: Suitable Name Search
• Status: Resolved
• Resolution: Fixed
• Podling: Apache Quarks
• Proposed Name: Apache Edgent

Evidence Of Open Source Adoption

Apache Quarks was contributed by IBM to Github and received quite a bit of press. The project has been in the Incubator about 3 months and has an active developers list and contributions (http://quarks.incubator.apache.org/). Since this is a new name to Quarks, there has been no press on it. Discussion and voting happened on the Quarks dev list to agree upon Edgent.

Description

This request is a renaming of Apache Quarks to Apache Edgent as the name Quarks is not unique enough

Apache Edgent is a programming model and micro-kernel style runtime that can be embedded in gateways and small footprint edge devices enabling local, real-time, analytics on the continuous streams of data coming from equipment, vehicles, systems, appliances, devices and sensors of all kinds (for example, Raspberry Pis or smart phones).

Edgent is a combination of "Edge" and "Agent"
