Re: FC7 through FC10 Name Proposals

[Markus McLaughlin]

Hi Fedora Fans/Users/Programmers!!!

This is definitely an exciting day for us Fedora Fans/Users/Programmers!
I am downloading the MAC-PPC edition of FC6 all day today on my day off
from work.  I love the name ZOD, very cool, and a nice reference to  
General
Zod of Superman lore.  Now here are names that I hope will be considered
for the upcoming releases.  Star Trek turned 40 this year so I  
propose the
name for Fedora Core 7 to be Spock.  I will write to startrek.com and
trektoday.com and the Trek BBS if that is okay to be used since it  
won't be
a name that can be sold.  Along with the Spock name, I want to encourage
programmers who know how to create themes to create an "LCARS" theme
that looks a lot like a computer display on board the Enterprise-D as  
shown
in ST-TNG complete with animated icons and/or panels.

Here are names I hope will be considered for FC8 through FC10.   
Athena, a
Greek Goddess, would make an appealing name for FC8.  FC9 should be
named either Brando, Kurtz, Vito, Jules, Vega, Tarantino, Starbuck,  
Baltar,
Pryor, Kennedy, or Boston.

In honor of Linus Torvalds' work on the Linux kernel, Fedora Core 10  
will
be known as "Hattu," which is Finnish for Hat.  It will also honor my  
Finnish
roots as well, half of my ancestors/family comes from Finland so I  
insist
on this name as well.   The other half being Irish American, my  
ancestors
came from Ireland.

Please consider these names in the months to come but PLEASE use "Hattu"
for Fedora Core 10, it would be the logical thing to do....

BTW, Fedora Core needs an optional Sidebar a la Vista in both GNOME and
KDE, customizable of course.  I think FC should have a really good  
expanded
"Start" panel as well in future releases.  Finally, some cool  
animated icons
would be a nice touch in FC7...

That's not really how the naming works; there are links between
each set of names...

You can find out a lot of this kind of information using Google, but in
a nutshell, each set of two consecutive names are connected, but in a
different way from the previous set of two names.

2010 will be the fourth centenary of Galileo Galilei's experimental
dimostration of Heliocentric  Model, that, surely, changed the vision of
the world and give scientist a miliar stone to improve their works. I
want to propose, if is possible, to give a code name (to one of the two
distribution of 2010) that remember this event. I have a proposal:/
Sidereus/ , that is a part of the title (Sidereus Nuntius) of the book
write by Galilei about the question.

I think that Open Source can be considered a Revolution in two sense: as
a return to a past condition of freedom and as the beggining oof a new
era. This, also, can be considered as  a miliar stone for  the future as
the Copernican revolution was and, actually, is.

This is my opinion, what do you think ?

These are all intriguing ideas, but this isn't really the right forum
for them.  Names are voted on by active maintainers, on
fedora-maintainers mailing list, IIRC.  Try taking this thread there,
although I think chances will be lowered a bit by the way Fedora names
are historically chosen.
