Hi everyone,

As you know, we've been developing the new KernelCI API [1], and the
kernelci-pipeline [2] based on it, for quite a while.

However, by now it seems that too many things are being called "KernelCI": the
project, pieces of the old system, pieces of the new system. We would also
like to give the name of KernelCI the project a wider scope than just a
particular CI system, and accommodate more packages/projects under its name.

So we would like to propose to call the new system "KernelCI <Something>".

And this message is about that "<Something>".

I think it would be good to have the new name associate with one or more of
the below qualities/functions (but feel free to dispute and extend this):

* focused
* simple
* powerful
* experienced (as in arising from experience)
* open
* distributed
* commanding (a fleet)
* kernel-related
* bug-related

One of the current working names, that Gustavo Padovan has proposed, is
"Maestro". As in "KernelCI Maestro". It hits the following associations:
focused, powerful, experienced, commanding.

As a joke and to come up with an example, I suggested "Kraken", that is
"KernelCI Kraken", which hits these: powerful, experienced (it's old), simple
(minded), focused (on sinking ships), distributed (it has tentacles),

Keeping things short, here are all the ideas so far, in alphabetic order:

* KernelCI Anthill - bug-related, distributed, commanding, focused
* KernelCI Arrow - focused, simple, powerful
* KernelCI Kraken - powerful, experienced, simple, focused, distributed
* KernelCI Lens - focused, powerful, simple
* KernelCI Lighthouse - focused, simple, powerful, commanding, experienced
* KernelCI Maestro - focused, powerful, experienced, commanding
* KernelCI Needle (in a haystack) - focused, simple, powerful, experienced
* KernelCI Nucleus - kernel-related, simple, powerful (when split)
* KernelCI PristineCI - simple, open
* KernelCI Pulse - focused, simple, powerful, experienced
* KernelCI Tamanduá (anteater in Spanish) - bug-related, simple, focused
* KernelCI Trails - focused, experienced, distributed
* KernelCI Warden - focused, powerful, experienced, commanding

I would appreciate any arguments and ideas about this. Once we have all the
names we can think of, and strike out ones we definitely don't like, I'll
create and post a poll here to pick one.

Thank you!
