Is it too early? I think there are proposed changes for the development process which would put the "naming" process earlier in part to get the art team time to have the option to build a theme associated with the codename. Regardless of when it happens, there are established rules for the name game, which I assume people in this thread are not aware of. Names between releases must relate. Release N+1 must be named such that releaser N+1 relates to N, such that releases N+1 and N-1 are not similarly related. So we can for example just keep picking city names or flower names over and over again. The rules for F9 as I understand them are: The relationship that connects Moonshine and Werewolf cannot be re-used. The F9 name and werewolf must share are "both are" relationship. The F9 name and moonshine must not share a "both are" relationship You also should provide an obvious next relationship that can be used to connect the name to F9 to F10 The "Unicorn" example I provided follows the name game rules. I stated the N+1 to N relationship explicitly. Both a unicorn and a werewolf are mythical creatures whereas moonshine is not. I also hinted at the next relationship that can be used to move beyond unicorn. Unicorn was the mascot for my high school, so for F10 you could move from unicorn to any high school mascot that was not a mystical creature. Though that's actually not a good out. A better out would be Tom Cruise movie co-stars (a unicorn was in the movie Legend). Names like "galaxy" or "night bird" need to be given in the context of the "N+1 and N are a something, but N+1 and N-1 are not a something" rule. The naming isn't random, but its constrained by how clever we are coming up with relationships between the names. -jef _______________________________________________ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list
