[PODLINGNAMESEARCH-76] Determine if Geode is a suitable name for a top level Apache project

• Type: Suitable Name Search
• Status: Resolved
• Resolution: Fixed
• Podling: Geode
• Proposed Name: Geode

Evidence Of Open Source Adoption

After reviewing existing open source projects on hosting sites (e.g. github.com) and aggregation sites (e.g. openhub.net) the project name doesn't appear to be overused for existing Open Source projects. On top of that all the hits seem to be in completely unrelated areas of software.

• Evidence Of Registration: Please see the attached report.
• Evidence Of Use On World Wide Web: Almost all Google hits are completely unrelated to software development. When specifiers like 'software' or 'project' are added the hits reveal a few consulting companies and software projects related to geology.
