[Hawkular-dev] open shift agent - what to call it?

[Viet Nguyen]

We can also try a name that aligns with our upstream parent projects, Origin and Atomic.  I can't think of any at the moment :)

Subject: [Hawkular-dev] open shift agent - what to call it?

OK, folks, as much as I hate these "what should we name this thing?" threads, I have to do it.

We are at the point where we are going to start going full-throttle on building out an agent that can monitor things on Open Shift (and Heiko wants to be able to monitor things outside of Open Shift - I'll let him chime in on what his use cases are to get a better feel for what he's thinking)

We need a name ASAP so we can create a repository under the Hawkular github namespace and put the code up there so people can start working on it. I would like to do this sooner rather than later - say, by Thursday???

Matt was thinking "hawkulark" (Hawk-U-Lark, Hawkular-K) because "k" == kubernetes.

I was thinking "GoHawk" (rhymes with "mohawk") because it is implemented in "Go"

I wasn't keen on relying on "kubernetes" as part of the name since its really targeting Open Shift and even then doesn't have to run in Open Shift (back to the ideas Heiko has for this thing).

"GoHawk" doesn't seem to be a winner simply because what happens if we implement other hawkular feeds in Golang?

I'm assuming we'll come up with a name and agree to it collectively as a group - but I nominate Thomas H, Heiko R, and John D. as the committee to give the final approval/tie-breaking authority :) It won't be me. I suck at coming up with names.

P.S. Who knows how to setup one of those online polls/surveys where you can enter your submissions and vote for other submissions?
