would like to jump on the podling name search early
Folks,
Background: It is hopefully appropriate to initiate the podling name search
now. If the name were found to be not suitable then we'd need to change
it. Changing the name is an extremely unpleasant process and very
disruptive to users and those that have built extensions. We know this
very well as we just went through it.
So with that said is it acceptable to go ahead and submit the name search
request now? If so here is what I'd submit to the PODLINGNAMESEARCH Jira
based on what I've seen other projects do (specifically Samza as a good
example):
---
Description: NiFi is a dataflow system based on the concepts of flow-based
programming. The name itself comes from the projects previous name which
Niagarafiles as it existed in a closed-source community.
Trademarkia:
http://www.trademarkia.com/trademarks-search.aspx?tn=nifi
No results.
EU trademark search:
https://www.tmdn.org/tmview/welcome# (search URL not available)
"nifi" is a registered trademark in Cyprus in 1993 where the 'list of goods
and services' is 'Brocures and Magazines"
Google:
Within the first several pages several of the links are about the podling
or its history previous to the podling. There are also hits for the
'National Issues Forum', 'National Immigrant Farming Initiative', National
Inland Fisheries Institute, two bridal companies (nifi is apparently greek
for wife or bride), a LinkedIn page for a Candadian Services company,
Northern Ireland Friends of Israel, and an Indian Film company.
Bing:
Reveals similar results to Google. Does also show connections to a
manufacturing company called Unify, Nintendo's Wi-Fi connection protocol,
Yahoo!:
Results appear identical to Bing.
Github:
https://github.com/search?q=nifi&ref=cmdform
Results are for project names that contain the characters nifi or is about
the podling.

Take a listen:
https://translate.google.com/#el/en/%CE%BD%CF%8D%CF%86%CE%B7
I'd certainly a say it is a transcription of the greek word for bride
