Re: [jakarta.ee-spec.committee] JNoSQL Specification

[Richard Monson-Haefel <rmonson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I suggest that we make an exception in this case only if we are ok with this being public before CodeOne/EclipseCon announcements. If we want to save this as surprise or announce close to that date than we should hold off. If we want people to know now that we are making progress than the marketing committee should be involved because this will drive a lot of traffic and require some blogs and tweets and other marketing. Using it in stealth mode - not making it public - will only work if the JNoSql team can keep it under wraps which I doubt will be the case.

Assuming "Jakarta" is a trademark of the Eclipse Foundation, will it be
managed similarly to the Java trademark?  What will be the restrictions
on its use?

For example, will the jakarta.* package namespace only be allowed for
Eclipse projects that have entered the Eclipse Foundation Specification
Process, as suggested in today's meeting?

If so, then jakarta.nosql seems likely to be approved for use by the
JNoSQL Specification Project, once it is submitted and approved, but
I wouldn't expect the JNoSQL project to begin using it before that point.

Of course, the Eclipse Foundation can define different rules for the use
of the Jakarta trademark, in which case this might be allowed now per the
rules, or it could be allowed now as a special case.  In any case, it would
be good to know what the rules are, and whether this is being handled
according to the rules or as an exception.
