Fedora Naming

[Arthur Buliva]

Boys and Girls,

I have been going through the questionnaire on the elections and it hit me
that we actually have two releases in a year - a large number perhaps? In 5
years that means 10 releases. Fedora 22.

So I dont know about this but I would like to float an idea about an
alternative naming convention perhaps? Because just the thought of "Fedora
48" doesn't sound too pleasing at least to me...

Regards,
Arthur

Why not? I'm sure that Fedora 42 will be the best release ever and the
answer to all questions. ;)

Also, "42" will just be the version number.  The name will no doubt be
something like "Adams", "Hitchhiker", "Beeblebrox", or
"Towel".

cheers,

Well, Arthur, I say we could follow other ways. In christening we call
Fedora without numbers.... But...

Seriously, we could follow less elegant roman numbering style (Fedora XL),
or the much better japanese style (Fedora Juu-ni ->12, or Fedora Hyaku
->100), and we don't need again codename or numbering, because it's
numbered. And if reach "Sen" ... our grandchild will remember upon us :)

Zoltan

Agree.

Numbering is OK.

Is it too often we have Fedora releases (I am not sure -maybe), but
definetely we should keep the current numbering which is clear and easy.

Instead I am suggesting that we should get rid of the confusing naming
while version already has its number. Why then use additional name (like
Leonidas, Constantine) anymore?

It's just confusing for the people who does not know those names and
they hardly know that Fedora is a LINUX!!

I think we should rather add name Linux before/after the word Fedora in
official naming so it would be easier to explain what it is after all.

Also, that is not the name. Fedora is the distribution, version is the 
number, and name is the name that we come up with and vote on, every 
release. When we get to Fedora 100, then I will start to agree with you, 
maybe.

Regards,

Tristan

I wouldn't.

Getting to 100 would mean that we managed to maintain our project for 50 years !

To me, that looks more like a very sustainable and successful project ;)
