While we liked the sophistication and refinement that went
along with the name “Ensemble”, we were struggling to find a
cohesive link between the tool itself, “formulas” for
deployment, and “Principia” (the shared collection of formulas
we want to grow a community around). All three were great
names by themselves, but when combined didn’t connect well as
a whole. First we considered going for a more music focused
theme, with formulas becoming “collaborations” “chords” or
“sheets” for example. However, given there’s already the
Ubuntu Orchestra project, we felt like we might be taking the
music theme too far, plus we were already having confusion
around the two because of the name similarities. So we
decided to go with something that had a bit of excitement and
“punch” to it, that could also represent the same fun we’ve
found folks having when using our project. We figured it
should represent the complexities and mystery that often
surround those skilled in the DevOps field, and be something
that played on the same "u" sound and etymology as Ubuntu.
Thus, "Juju" was born!</span><br>

Over the next week, we’ll update documentation, the associated
Launchpad projects and teams, the code itself, and update the
packages in Oneiric. Everything will be done and ready for
testing in the Ubuntu 11.10 Beta 2 release. We’ll follow that
up with updating the charms and will make new </span><a
