I haven't voted myself. I like Heimdall and Soteria both, but to break the
tie let's go for Soteria:

* Soteria +3
* Heimdall +2
* Olin +1
* Securitas
* Placoderm
* OmegaSupreme
* Omega-S
* Skyfeather
* JAAS-EE
* Amsterdam
* Copenhagen
* Jyväskylä
* Jiangshan
* Bennekom
* Blois

I propose not to keep the vote open for much longer. If there are no more
votes coming in by tomorrow I'd like to start using Soteria as the RI name.

Kind regards,
Arjan Tijms
