So Ray and I just finished our stint at the Devoxx keynote this morning to announce the names for voting. The video should be up soon but in case you don't get a good view of the Dilbert cartoon we used to explain the situation to the audience, here's the link. We were struggling with how best to let people know the difficulties in taking 1800+ submissions and getting them through the legal process, when Dilbert came to our rescue. I don't think we could have put it any more succinctly as this, so why bother?! Anyway, the voting process is now open and we'll be updating the pages on JBoss.org to try to add more flavour/meaning to the names that we eventually managed to get from the great submissions.

Thanks to everyone who submitted a name. There were many great names, but unfortunately we couldn't select the majority of them for reasons mentioned in the above cartoon. But the ones we have are good and I'm sure we can get behind whatever is eventually selected and make it a worthy successor to the JBossAS name! So get voting.

Onward!!
