I wouldn't want to eliminate Gluster completely as newcomers would then wonder about the binaries, package names etc. The tagline speaks to that we've taken the time to consider some of the common pitfalls of storage and makes things nicer for the admin involved. Also throwing out acronyms in a name leaves more questions than answers I feel and that's something to avoid even though I proposed the some of the acronyms myself :)</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><hr id="zwchr"><div style="color:#000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;"><b>From: </b>"Benjamin Turner" <bennyturns@gmail.com><br><b>To: </b>"Tom Callaway" <tcallawa@redhat.com><br><b>Cc: </b>gluster-users@gluster.org, "Gluster Devel" <gluster-devel@gluster.org><br><b>Sent: </b>Friday, May 1, 2015 8:07:55 PM<br><b>Subject: </b>Re: [Gluster-users] [Gluster-devel] Gluster Slogans Revisited<br><div><br></div><div dir="ltr">I liked:<div><br></div><div><div id="magicdomid39" class="" style="margin:0px;padding:0px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:16px"><span class="" style="margin:0px;padding:0px 0px 1px;background-color:rgb(157,180,228)">Gluster: Redefine storage.</span></div><div id="magicdomid40" class="" style="margin:0px;padding:0px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:16px"><span class="" style="margin:0px;padding:0px 0px 1px;background-color:rgb(157,180,228)">Gluster: Software-Defined Storage.

<br>
Thanks for all the slogan suggestions that you've provided. I've made an<br>
etherpad page which collected them all, along with some additional<br>
suggestions made by Red Hat's Brand team:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://public.pad.fsfe.org/p/gluster-slogans" target="_blank">https://public.pad.fsfe.org/p/gluster-slogans</a><br>
<br>
Feel free to discuss them (either here or on the etherpad). If you like<br>
a particular slogan, feel free to put a + next to it on the etherpad.<br>
<br>
Before we can pick a new slogan, it needs to be cleared by Red Hat<br>
Legal, this is a small formality to make sure that we're not infringing<br>
someone else's trademark or doing anything that would cause Red Hat<br>
undue risk. We don't want to waste their time by having them clear every<br>
possible suggestion, so your feedback is very helpful to allow us to<br>
narrow down the list. At the end of the day, barring legal clearance,<br>
the slogan selection is up to the community.<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
