NASA/AMES NAS did use Condor, but it has not used Condor for years.

Some collaborators of the CMS project at LHC are using Condor. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.101.220.235 (talk) 15:29, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: No consensus to move as of yet. Rough consensus that this is premature; this may need to be brought back up when sources with the new name start appearing. Cúchullain ^t/c 17:46, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

Condor High-Throughput Computing System → HTCondor High-Throughput Computing System – In order to resolve a lawsuit challenging the University of Wisconsin-Madison's use of the "Condor" trademark, the University has agreed to begin referring to its Condor software as "HTCondor". Starting in the end of October and through November of this year, you will begin to see this change reflected on our web site, documentation, web URLs, email lists, and wiki. See https://lists.cs.wisc.edu/archive/htcondor-users/2012-October/msg00110.shtml for the announcement. Relisted.

• Oppose – first, fix the case and make it Condor high-throughput computing system, like in sources and per MOS:CAPS. Then, when you see the new name appearing in secondary sources, rename the article. Dicklyon (talk) 05:39, 9 November 2012 (UTC)
• Support - Supporting and done. (And descriptor changed to lowercase per Dicklyon's suggestion.) This is the organization's own announcement. Common sense suggests the organization is a reputable source for their own name. (Disclaimer: said organization is my employer). — Alan De Smet | Talk 21:48, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
  • Comment: Appreciate the disclaimer. While the official website and announcement are certainly reliable sources, neither is a secondary source, so it does count but not as much as sources that show established usage outside of the organisation. Suggest relisting the move if you can provide these. Andrewa (talk) 06:18, 15 November 2012 (UTC)
• Oppose for now at least. See WP:AT, WP:Official names and WP:Reliable secondary sources. Andrewa (talk) 06:18, 15 November 2012 (UTC)

• Comment – someone went ahead and moved it to HTCondor high-throughput computing system (the new project name, with case fix) while this RM was open; I moved it back to Condor high-throughput computing system (old project name, just case fixed). When the RM is closed we can decide whether it stays or moves to the new name. Dicklyon (talk) 06:23, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

• Oppose I am going to oppose, for now, on the basis that the old title is still more notable than the new title. I believe that will change in the future. Currently, HTCondor produces very little in terms of reliable sources; no google news and or google book hits. Whereas the current title does produce some reliables sources.[1]. I do suspect that this will change in the future but not yet.--Labattblueboy (talk) 19:39, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

• Rename to HTCondor. We generally follow the official name for software products (which according to their website seems to have been changed already) and don't necessarily wait for secondary sources to catch up after a rename (if we can reasonably expect them to do so eventually.) The disambiguation tag "high-throughput computing system" doens't seem to be part of the official name and there is no need for disambiguation with the new name. —Ruud 22:30, 8 December 2012 (UTC)

• Rename to HTCondor as per Ruud. The article itself primarily references the short or WP:COMMON name of HTCondor. Otherwise, oppose the move to the longer name. Tiggerjay (talk) 08:12, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

moved it to "HTCondor"  --Biggerj1 (talk) 19:53, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
