Short: there is no project named WombatFish; help us choose a good name... Long: We have started to work on our next two releases of Project GlassFish (more details later). The first one is called Project GlassFish (duh!), but the second needs a name and during a couple of presentations yesterday I used WombatFish in the slides, but only as a placeholder name. So, no WombatFish :-) |
But we do need your help in choosing the name, so, start thinking... The guidelines are simple: the name should not conflict with existing projects, and we want a sea creature to build on the recognition for GlassFish. Send us names to theaquarium@sun.com or post them as comments here. When we have a good set of names we will ask the community at large to vote.
And, you ask, why WombatFish? Well, Wombats are interesting animals but they also have some history as jargon, particularly this and this. Locally, we have used Wombat in the past in several projects, from as way back as JavaBeans and JSP and many other places.

There is no ideal solution. The pre-JavaOne arrangement was a bit confusing and it was going to get more confusing with the addition of releases and products and components. We also had the opportunity of using OpenJava for the community name, and linking it to the SE side when the "how" gets resolved. And we are planning major architectural changes for the post GF v2 release... Doing the name rearrangement now seemed best.
We need to flesh out the details, but we will all be very careful with the transition, and we don't want to do it again :-)
