I think we may find a good name on
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabindranath_Tagore

There is a famous peom 'Saying Goodbye to Cambridge Again' written by
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xu_Zhimo at 1922. Quote from wikipedia:

"To commemorate Xu Zhimo, in July, 2008, a white marble stone has been
installed at the back of King's College, University of Cambridge, on
which is inscribed a verse from Xu's best-known poem, 'Saying Goodbye
to Cambridge Again'."

Since Cambridge is part of a poem, then we can always find a good poem
with a sound title. I'd suggest "Crescent Moon" (of Tagore) because of
the close relationship: Xu Zhimo also started a group called that
name. Also we used "Solar" as artwork theme in Fedora 10.

But this word seems to have been used by another software company, and
a perl module(?), etc. I am not sure about the google result. Also it
have close relationship with Mid-East, isn't it. India people may have
more to say about Tagore.

Here is a translation of that poem:


http://my.opera.com/hercyna/blog/show.dml/308333

Very quietly I take my leave
As quietly as I came here;
Quietly I wave good-bye
To the rosy clouds in the western sky.
轻轻的我走了，
正如我轻轻的来；
我轻轻的招手，
作别西天的云彩。

The golden willows by the riverside
Are young brides in the setting sun;
Their reflections on the shimmering waves
Always linger in the depth of my heart.
那河畔的金柳
是夕阳中的新娘
波光里的艳影，
在我的心头荡漾。

The floatingheart growing in the sludge
Sways leisurely under the water;
In the gentle waves of Cambridge
I would be a water plant!
软泥上的青荇，
油油的在水底招摇；
在康河的柔波里，
我甘心做一条水草

That pool under the shade of elm trees
Holds not water but the rainbow from the sky;
Shattered to pieces among the duckweeds
Is the sediment of a rainbow-like dream?
那榆荫下的一潭，
不是清泉，是天上虹
揉碎在浮藻间，
沉淀着彩虹似的梦。

To seek a dream? Just to pole a boat upstream
To where the green grass is more verdant;
Or to have the boat fully loaded with starlight
And sing aloud in the splendour of starlight.
寻梦？撑一支长篙，
向青草更青处漫溯，
满载一船星辉，
在星辉斑斓里放歌

But I cannot sing aloud
Quietness is my farewell music;
Even summer insects heep silence for me
Silent is Cambridge tonight!
但我不能放歌，
悄悄是别离的笙箫；
夏虫也为我沉默，
沉默是今晚的康桥！

Very quietly I take my leave
As quietly as I came here;
Gently I flick my sleeves
Not even a wisp of cloud will I bring away
悄悄的我走了，
正如我悄悄的来；
我挥一挥衣袖，
不带走一片云彩。

Maybe You should discuss it on wiki.fedoraproject.org, not the mailing list?

Hi,

They are the same IMO. I ask on mailing list because I don't find a
proper name yet, just an idea. Where else can I find many India
people? :)
