There we were, in a team meeting and debating on our new Team name. After months of re-organization of out IT Team make-up and structure, on our 4th new Team Leader it had all come down to this...the name that would define us for the next 1-2 years. The name that would unite and join us...after days spend dwelling on the choices it had come down to 2 names.
Team Jedi or Team Samurai...
Both represent many of the same core values that we wanted to convey in our branding of our team with a new Team name.
Something that represented honesty, integrity, fearlessness, honor, and a state of perfection.
The final debate was on and the conversation ebbed and flowed to the final definitive winner.
The conversation unfolds:
Samurai were part of feudal Japan and thats not a good thing in many ways...
Jedi were part of a Universal collaborative of "Saint like" warriors...
Samurai were part of an ancient culture still respected and held in high regard to this very day...
O.K. if a Jedi and and Samurai battle who would win...
The Jedi of course...with his Light Sabre is would slice the Samurai's Katana like butter...
Humm....your right....
Humm....wait a minute! Samurai were real and Jedi's are not.
Crap...your right...
So, introducing our new team to our new name...
TEAM JEDI !
Leave it to a group of developers and they will always come to agreement on something that just doesnt make sense...but its fun and intellectual non-the-less.
So this is where my name and thus my blog name came from...
Qui-Jon
