Goodbye "Hobbit", hello "Xymon"

Greetings!

As I wrote some time ago, I was contacted by the owners of the 
"Hobbit" trademark back in June.

Several names have been suggested by you on the mailing list
(see http://www.hswn.dk/hobbiton/2008/08/msg00193.html), but
the decision has now been made.

As of today, the official name is "Xymon" (pronounced just
like "Simon").

At the moment this renaming has not caused much of a change,
but it will be implemented over the coming weeks.

* The Sourceforge project URL remains at 
  https://sf.net/projects/hobbitmon/ due to project renamings
  currently being suspended on Sourceforge. Once the suspension
  is lifted, however, there is a queued request to rename the
  project. It will then be available at
  https://sf.net/projects/xymon/

* The mailing list address remains "user-ae9b8668bcde@xymon.invalid" for the
  moment. A new "Xymon" mailing list will be setup, but 
  this will be announced separately.

* The demo website http://www.xymon.com/ is active. The old
  address - www.hobbitmon.com - will remain in place for
  some time, but no longer than August 2009.

* Changes to documentation, code, webpages inside the
  Hobbit monitor etc. will be happening over the next couple
  of weeks, and will be fully implemented in the upcoming
  release.


Best regards,
Henrik

It's really just a name that popped into my head one
morning, and it sounded "right".

It also fits with the criteria I listed back in August
http://www.hswn.dk/hobbiton/2008/08/msg00193.html :
No clashes with Tolkien or existing book/movie characters;
it isn't trademarked; it's short and easily pronouncable;
and the relevant domains were all (mostly) available.
(xymon.net wasn't, but I can live with that).

That it ends with "mon" is also a plus, that seems
reasonable for "mon"itoring software.

And I can just hear everyone shout "what does Xymon
say?" when there's an outage. Sorry 'bout that, if you
happen to have a Simon on your admin team :-)

Finally, the ultimate sys-admin - the BOFH ! - was created
by a Simon: http://www.theregister.co.uk/odds/bofh/

(Just joking about that last one).

Hey Henrik,

The name sounds good, i will have a special feeling to it, for various
different reasons. I am looking forward for many more
things/changes/turnovers with Xymon.

Hey Henrik,

I did a whois lookup on xymon.net and it comes up with invalid registrant information.  Only the technical contact info is legit (and it's network solutions).  I suspect this domain may actually be available if you ask them to look into it.  It really looks like a cybersquatting.

Lawyers might argue that point as it's referred to in the novels as "The Shire".  However, it's not really the lawyers that are as concerning as it is to keep aligned with the new name...although, it's not like the Deadcat guys were the least bit concerned there.

Hi Galen, The Shire does not belong to J.R.R.Tolkien. 
E.G. Nottinghamshire in the Robin Hood legends. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shire 
Why not just keep it as it is? Or, if You are absolutely scared by lawyers, Xymonshire.

"Mozilla" was the original project code name for NetscapeNavigator and, 
according to some of the documentation, the
correct pronunciation of "Netscape".
See http://vdict.com/Mozilla,6,0,0.html

So I guess we can label is Xymon and pronounce it "hobbit" !! :-)

BTW I actually remember seeing  this ! Believe it was on the intro page 
or download page

Greetings!

As I wrote some time ago, I was contacted by the owners of the 
"Hobbit" trademark back in June.

Several names have been suggested by you on the mailing list
(see http://www.hswn.dk/hobbiton/2008/08/msg00193.html), but
the decision has now been made.

As of today, the official name is "Xymon" (pronounced just
like "Simon").

At the moment this renaming has not caused much of a change,
but it will be implemented over the coming weeks.

* The Sourceforge project URL remains at 
  https://sf.net/projects/hobbitmon/ due to project renamings
  currently being suspended on Sourceforge. Once the suspension
  is lifted, however, there is a queued request to rename the
  project. It will then be available at
  https://sf.net/projects/xymon/

* The mailing list address remains "user-ae9b8668bcde@xymon.invalid" for the
  moment. A new "Xymon" mailing list will be setup, but 
  this will be announced separately.

* The demo website http://www.xymon.com/ is active. The old
  address - www.hobbitmon.com - will remain in place for
  some time, but no longer than August 2009.

* Changes to documentation, code, webpages inside the
  Hobbit monitor etc. will be happening over the next couple
  of weeks, and will be fully implemented in the upcoming
  release.


Best regards,
Henrik

I like Xymonstown.
It reminds me of this place :-)

Simonstown is a very beautiful little port town, just South of Cape Town.

You could do something like Xymontown, to showcase the community around the tool?

Lawyers might argue that point as it's referred to in the novels as "The Shire".  However, it's not really the lawyers that are as concerning as it is to keep aligned with the new name...although, it's not like the Deadcat guys were the least bit concerned there.

Hi Henrik,

It just happened that my name is Simon, which in my mother tongue is spelt
as "Szymon".

I can see guys from my sys team start blaming me for every single problem
once they find out (and a face of my director hearing my name during any
glitches - he will soon start relating my name with technical problems - it
will be all my fault) ;D  !

Cheers :>

I like it anyway.
All the best
Xymon :D
