This got discussed after last week's TC meeting during Thursday<br>
office hours, and I'm sorry I didn't think to give you a heads-up<br>
when the topic arose:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/irclogs/%23openstack-tc/%23openstack-tc.2019-08-08.log.html#t2019-08-08T14:59:01" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/irclogs/%23openstack-tc/%23openstack-tc.2019-08-08.log.html#t2019-08-08T14:59:01</a><br>
<br>
One of the objections raised was that "University" in the name<br>
"University of Shanghai for Science and Technology" was a general<br>
class of place or feature and not a particular place or feature. But<br>
as you pointed out in IRC a while back (and which I should have<br>
remembered), there is precedent with the Pike cycle name:<br>
<br>
Pike (the Massachusetts Turnpike, also the Mass Pike...)<br>
<br>
<a href="https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Release_Naming/P_Proposals#Proposed_Names" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Release_Naming/P_Proposals#Proposed_Names</a><br>
<br>
Another objection raised is that "OpenStack University" was the old<br>
name for what we now call the OpenStack Upstream Institute and that<br>
it could lead to name confusion if chosen. A search of the Web for<br>
that name last week turned up only two occurrences for me on the<br>
first page of results, both of which were lingering references in<br>
our wiki which I immediately corrected, so I don't think that<br>
argument holds.<br>
<br>
Then there was the suggestion that "University" might somehow be a<br>
trademark risk, though in my opinion that's why we have the OSF vet<br>
the preliminary winning results after the community ranks them (so<br>
that the TC doesn't need to concern itself with trademark issues).<br>
<br>
It was also pointed out that each time we have a poll with a mix of<br>
English and non-English names/words, an English name inevitably<br>
wins. Since this concern isn't backed up by the documented<br>
process[*] we're ostensibly following, I'm not really sure how to<br>
address it.<br>
<br>
Ultimately I was unable to convince my colleagues on the TC that<br>
"University" was a qualifying name, and so it was handled as a<br>
possible exception to the normal rules which, following a poll of<br>
most TC members, was decided would not be granted.<br>
