As a core developer for the Marconi project, I favor this request
and bless it with a +2.<br>
<br>
In addition to the listed benefits, I've discovered the following
additional benefits during my free time:<br>
<br>
1. The naming of a clustered Marconi deployment would be called a
"Macaroni Salad". This will be easier to communicate to
non-technical users and provide much needed flavor to a
buzzword-rich domain. Have your cake and scale it, too!<br>
<br>
2. Wholesome, well-tested deployments can be labeled as
"whole-grain". Fiber rich -> robust and reliable.<br>
<br>
3. Plays nice with existing efforts. Celery [1] and Macaroni go
exceptionally well together.<br>
<br>
The benefits to communication about Marconi are profound. I'm
looking forward to discussing this at the summit.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>

We suspect that robots may have infiltrated the Marconi core team.
We've formed an alliance of tolerance. I feel that not all the
robots are out to destroy. Most of them just don't sleep. ;)<br>

As OpenStack Marconi grows, I think it's time we addressed the question on everyone's mind:
why isn't the project called OpenStack Macaroni?
There are several compelling reasons to change Marconi's name to Macaroni:
1. Macaroni, being tube-shaped, exemplify the concept of connecting various services such
that messages (cheese sauce) can flow between them. Remember, the internet is in fact
a series of tubes.
2. Everyone reads the name as Macaroni the first time they see it, anyway.
3. Everyone knows what Macaroni are, while many people do not know who Marconi is.
People unable to access Wikipedia in a timely manner will greatly benefit from
the name change, since they will be able to instantly recognize what Marconi/Macaroni
provides to the OpenStack project (see #1).
4. Only robots dislike Macaroni and Cheese. Therefore, by holding a vote, we can
identify who is, in fact, a robot, and summarily destroy them before they are
able to orchestrate a SkyNet-inspired uprising.
Therefore, in the name of clarity, hilarity, and the prevention of robot apocalypses,
I call for a vote to change the name of the OpenStack Marconi project
to OpenStack Macaroni. The vote should probably be held after OpenStack Summit,
so that we can discuss the potential name change in a Summit session.
Best Regards,
Solly Ross
P.S. Happy April Fools Day!</pre>
