RFC: Ruby gem rename to qpid-messaging (or something else)

["Darryl L. Pierce" <dp...@redhat.com>]

A few months ago I reached out to the person who already has the name
"qpid" on rubygems.org to ask if he would be willing to let our project
use the name. He was willing to do so, and said he would get back to me
within a week.

Obviously, he's not gotten back to me. And I have reached out to him a
few times since then without any response.

So I want to start the process with Fedora to rename the package to
something other than simply "rubygem-qpid". This is because 1) we don't
have the name "qpid" on rubygems.org so our package name is misleading,
and 2) we really need to give the gem a proper name so that I can start
make it available to Ruby developers via rubygems.org.

So I'm looking for feedback on renaming the gemfile to qpid-messaging.
Or, if someone has a better name idea, I'd like to hear it. But I'd like
to get a name for it and claim that name on rubygems.

No objection from me, if we cant get Qpid then it seems like a reasonable
alternative.

Nobody else has had a response, so can I assume nobody's objecting to
the name change? If so, I'll grab that name on the RubyGems website and
put in for a package name change.
