Andre suggested 'Testathon' on IRC. Perhaps we can have a poll. =)

It did make me have very rough thoughts about the possibility of doing a
sort of 'rebranding exercise' (excuse me for a second while I shoot
myself) around one of the newer names; change our conception of the
event itself a little bit as well as the name, and maybe provide a
longer time base for publicity. Ubuntu, for instance, has the old
marketing trick of announcing everything at least five times down pat;
we could do this with Test Sprints / Test Blitzes / Testathons /
whatever. Very rough sketch -

* we can do a shiny announcement when we've decided what events we'll
have
* we can do a shiny announcement when the test cases for a given event
are done
* we can declare week-long Focus Periods for each event and do shiny
announcements at the start and end of each
* we can do three shiny announcements of the 'Blitz Day' or whatever
associated with each event; before, during, after (with the 'before' and
'after' announcements emphasizing that you can test already/still)
* we can do a shiny wrap-up at the end of the cycle

I dunno, it's just a thought. Very rough so far...
