Agreed! Whatever be it, let us stick to something and not move with the

frivolity and should be discarded at the submission stage.....btw,
we should not ignore the orient in the naming too....
Btw, unrelated, but Ubuntu (which I have always disliked, except for
their artwork) has degenerated even further....I hear that hibernate is
no longer supported in latest releases/updates because it has become too
complicated to support.....I do not know if this is true, but if so, I
hope very much that F does not go that route.....

I love the idea of using scientists, explorers, writers (not just
sci-fi), artists...anything really that pushes the boundaries of the
human experience...and not just people, Leonidas was a (or several
really) ship too.
Also, I would have to say that so far my favourite Fedora artwork is
from Verne ;-)

I like the idea of naming Fedora releases after scientists. There is
very little closer to the idea of open-source than scientists who have
done quality peer-reviewed work and also been open about their ideas
and shortcomings. Certainly far more than Beefy Miracle or
whatever.....

I always thought that Fedora 18's code name should be a celebration of Life.

Or you could go with a type of "code" that only really die-hard Fedora
Fans might figure out......like since "B & M" have both been used for
17..(B-eefy M-iracle)..maybe move the two letters over to the right by
one and you now have "C & N"....so then you choose names with those
letters,.....and when 19 comes around you'd use the "D" and the "O" to
name that version and with 20 it'd be "E" and "P"....(C-olossal N-utrino
perhaps for this next version?...)

Reading all the other posts and responses to this I'd have to also
agree,...that naming should definitely tip it's hat to the scientific
community, and all their triumphs, and various achievements. From
historical figures, through to modern day innovators. Well then....what
name shall we give the next version of Fedora?....Sigmund
"Newton"?........."Galileo" Pasteur?....LoL! Fire away!
