<p class="MsoNormal">It appears that OFM may not fly as a name either, which may actually be for the best … after all, we’re not building a fabric manager, we’re proposing a framework and APIs to support various fabric management applications.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I propose this as the (next) name – Fabric Management Framework – FMF.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It includes the word “Fabric”,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It correctly describes what we’re doing.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As far as I know, there are no objections to it (so far).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What say you all?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Ps – it isn’t even a little bit surprising that we find ourselves still looking for a permanent name. Maybe this one’ll stick.<o:p></o:p></p>
