Proposal request for ideas on naming Fedora releases.

[Zoltan Hoppar]

I think with naming we should build marketing-concept art-creativity
to the top of it, and after all we are an bleeding edge distro - we
should use famous scientists, explorers, writers, inventors. Without
those people we could be less onour world, and they are tried - made
it. We can represent big respect before them, no matter they are still
alive or not. If one of them is alive, would be interesting to make an
talk, an invite them to have their message to our users.... and lot
more.
