why is it called vdsm?
Why is it called vdsm and not something a little more descriptive and project-related, like "ovirt-agent"? Greg Sheremeta Red Hat, Inc. Sr. Software Engineer, RHEV Cell: 919-807-1086 gshereme@redhat.com

Well, we could think of a rename for oVirt 4.0 :) Not 100% joking: besides being a bit more google-friendlier, that could solve the packaging troubles and make old-vdsm and new-vdsm-or-whaterver-we-may-call-it trivially parallel installable on a given host. -- Francesco Romani RedHat Engineering Virtualization R & D Phone: 8261328 IRC: fromani
for the little story, when I began to use ovirt in 2012, a french google search gave me on the first page a full list of "BDSM" result, which relies to Bonding for the B letter, but in reality for masochism :) that was very funny but not very serious :) Le 13/02/2015 16:49, Francesco Romani a écrit :

Well, that was going to be my next question -- can we rename it? I like "ovirt-agent", but almost anything other than vdsm will be nicer :)

Indeed. In addition to not being descriptive or helpful, "vdsm" rhymes / sounds like (especially if said quickly) something we shouldn't talk about in a professional setting. This may only be true for native English speakers, and I believe "vdsm" originated in Israel. It's not a label that would have originated in the US due to it not being "work-friendly." That awkwardness aside, ... "ovirt-agent" will be better for marketing, Google searches, etc. Greg

Well I would like to not call it "ovirt-agent" because there already is the "ovirt-guest_agent", so they could get confused by new users. I really don't know if a new name is necessary at all. What do you think are advantages? Disadvantages are: 1. waste of time for searching a new name (already happens in this discussion). 2. breakage if you search for the old/new name : you might end up with just half the relevant results because you used the old/new name.
