GlassFish Catch Phrase Planning

Overview

We need to select at least one "catch phrase" for use on GlassFish buttons and other materials.

Points to consider:

  • MUST NOT imply that GlassFish is just an app server
  • MUST be short enough to fit into small web button images
  • SHOULD be catchy enough to make people want to learn more about GlassFish
  • SHOULD give people some notion of what GlassFish is

Examples from other projects:

  • Java: Run Desktop Apps Faster with Java
  • NetBeans: Simple, Intuitive IDE
  • Solaris: The Most Advanced OS on the Planet

Candidate Phrases:

Please vote for whichever of the proposals below you like. Vote as many times as you like. To vote: add your name in the "voters" table and incrementing the "vote count" column for any phrases you like in the phrases table. You may optionally also note the items you voted for in the "notes" column of the voters table. If you have an idea which isn't included, add it (and assign it the next available ID). This round of voting will likely just be used to narrow down choices for a final vote.

Also note that the tables are sortable by any field. So, for example, to see which phrases have received the most votes so far, click twice on the "Vote Count" heading in the phrases table.
