[eclipse.org-planning-council] RE: Train Name

Oliver,

The Foundation uses external council to do trademark searches, so we will
take care of it.  We just need to know the Planning Council has agreed to
Helios.

   Good point, duh, I should have done that before I sent out the names 
for a vote.....

   OCS does its own trademark work, (we just renewed powerada!).  And we 
have rootcause too, so when you are debugging make sure you say "The 
root cause of the problem is ...." and not "The rootcause of the problem 
is..."  To be safe, pause for at least a second between the words "root" 
and "cause" when speaking ;)

   Anyway, I went to http://www.uspto.gov/ and did a trademark search on 
helios.  A lot of hits, but I checked them all and I couldn't see where 
any would be confused with Eclipse Helios.  There were a few software 
products, but they were targeted to medical applications, power 
management and the like.
