Podling name change - Optiq becomes Calcite

[Julian Hyde <jh...@apache.org>]

We have discovered that we are unlikely to be able to trademark "Apache
Optiq", so we intend to change the name of the project to "Apache Calcite".
The PPMC likes the name, and a trademark search reveals no competing uses
of the name.

What are the next steps? Can someone who has been through the same process
please share their check-list? (I know I will need to log lots of INFRA
requests but it would help to know what these should be -- e.g. should I
ask to rename the lists, two svn repositories, 3 git repos, wiki, web
sites, old releases, jira project etc etc etc or create new ones and
obsolete the old ones?)

Release momentum is one of the good things we have going, so we will make a
release under the new name, which will be apache-calcite-0.9.1-incubating,
in the next few days. We will not have time to re-organize the code into
new package names.

I plan to launch the project under its new name, Apache Calcite, when I
speak at Strata NY on 16th October.

Still consensus building but will move to PPMC and dev votes in due course.

Good idea. I had already done the searches so I’ve filled out the fields.

Hi Julian,

we just renamed fleece to johnzon so maybe i can help:

- Check for the new name: http://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/naming.html
- We voted on the dev list for the new name
- Open a issue like this one to get approval from @trademark
(https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PODLINGNAMESEARCH-53)
(You don't need to wait for the approval to go further but if you dont
get them you maybe have to rename again later)
- Open INFRA jira ticket to rename the repo, mailinglist, ... like
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-8269
- Rename the incubator files and content (podlings.xml, etc)

Hope this helps
Hendrik
