Gluster: Software {re}defined storage
is one I really like. I wouldn't want to eliminate Gluster completely as newcomers would then wonder about the binaries, package names etc. The tagline speaks to that we've taken the time to consider some of the common pitfalls of storage and makes things nicer for the admin involved. Also throwing out acronyms in a name leaves more questions than answers I feel and that's something to avoid even though I proposed the some of the acronyms myself :)

Subject: Re: [Gluster-users] Gluster Slogans Revisited
I liked:
Gluster: Redefine storage.
Gluster: Software-Defined Storage. Redefined
Gluster: RAID G
Gluster: RAISE (redundant array of inexpensive storage equipment)
Gluster: Software {re}defined storage+
And suggested:
Gluster {DS|FS|RAISE|RAIDG}: Software Defined Storage Redefined(some combination of lines 38-42)
My thinking is:
<Our new name GlusterDS/whatever>: <Tagline with excitement>
Gluster * - This is the change gluster fs to gluster ds idea we were discussing this already. Maybe we could even come up with a longer acronym, like RAIDG or RAISE or something more definitive of what we are? I think instead of jsut using Gluster: we come up with the new way to refer to glusterFS and use this as a way to push that as well.
Tagline - Whatever cool saying that get people excited to check out glusterDS/glusterRAIDG/ whatever
So ex:
Gluster RAISE: Software Defined Storage Redifined
Gluster DS: Software defined storage defined your way
Gluster RAIDG: Storage from the ground up
Just my $0.02

Hello Gluster Ants!
Thanks for all the slogan suggestions that you've provided. I've made an
etherpad page which collected them all, along with some additional
suggestions made by Red Hat's Brand team:
https://public.pad.fsfe.org/p/gluster-slogans
Feel free to discuss them (either here or on the etherpad). If you like
a particular slogan, feel free to put a + next to it on the etherpad.
Before we can pick a new slogan, it needs to be cleared by Red Hat
Legal, this is a small formality to make sure that we're not infringing
someone else's trademark or doing anything that would cause Red Hat
undue risk. We don't want to waste their time by having them clear every
possible suggestion, so your feedback is very helpful to allow us to
narrow down the list. At the end of the day, barring legal clearance,
the slogan selection is up to the community.
Thanks!
