Let the naming begin! We're starting very early this time around in
the name game for F10. So, let the suggestions flow!
Remember the rules:
1) <NewName> must have some link to Sulphur
More specifically, the link should be
Sulphur is a <blank> and
<NewName> is a <blank>
Where <blank> is the same for both
2) The link between <NewName> and Sulphur cannot be the same as between
Werewolf and Sulphur. That link was "things that react badly with
silver".
I will be collecting suggestions for 1 week, so the cutoff for names is:
May 29, 2008
Suggestions will be run through the legal queue and an election will
happen for Fedora contributors to pick the next Fedora name.

Ochre is more orangish/red IIRC.

BTW, I mean of course Yellow Ochre as opposed to Red Ochre.

Ewww, I dislike Gold, not only is it a bit too obvious it's also the

So why not simply Brimstone?

Normally, actual evolution of the name would probably be preferred to

Sulphur is yellow and so are Sunflowers.
The sunflower is generally a symbol used for any green political party

"alphanumeric" is a word in the dictionary. It's not trying hard enough
Yeah, but "element in the periodic table" is a much more exclusive list
than "word in the dictionary". I mean, they haven't even added
Unobtainium yet!

I'd argument that the link Fedora 10 < --> 10th element in the
periodic
table is worth it. That's why I liked it so much.

Furthermore, 10 is how you write 16 in hex...

But does Brazil go to 11?
On a separate note, a previous poster's suggestion of Ultraviolet, and
the abbreviation of 'UV' made me wonder if there could be some sort of
roman numeral pun that would get us to 'these go to 11', and also play
off the Fruity Operating System roman numeral fetish.
It would have to be awfully clever to hit all those targets and still
associate with Sulphur.
I'm just haven't thought of one yet...

How about like this:
"Neon" is a memorable image from the movie Brazil;
"Ours go to 11" is a memorable image from the movie Spinal Tap.
Although "ducts" is the most memorable image from Brazil. Don't quite
see how to get from "sulpher" to "duct", though...

I used to *love* that movie ... until I started living it. Now I can't
watch it : ]
Anyways ...
From Wikipedia:
The distinctive colors of Jupiter's volcanic
moon, Io, are from
various forms of molten, solid and gaseous sulfur.
So maybe the Jupiter moon connection wasn't so bad ... but the name of
a moon ... "Io" instead ... kind of looks like "10" :]
Kind of stretching the association but:
Sulphur is yellow and stinks like rotten eggs
Io is yellow and stinks like rotten eggs :]
I do like the "Neon" suggestion a lot though. Lots of graphical potential:

We've been screwing around with trying to get some sort of content
channel up so we can dog food our own multimedia stuff for what seems
like forever. It's a real chicken and egg problem, but with miro for
distribution and cheese, pitivi and istanbul for basic video creation
and editting we have enough right now to start dogfooding things and
generating a content channel. I don't care how crappy that initial
content is. I fully expect Board members to be guinea pigs in terms
of generating consumable content if we get a miro channel going, at
least until people with more skill inside our community take the
pludge.

Trademarks are enforced with industry and uniqueness in mind. I would hope
that cars and operating systems are unrelated enough markets to not be a
problem. Its also not particularly unique, being the name of an element. But
then IANAL.

Hey, I didn't say that was going to be my only contribution to the name
process! :-D I do think we really, REALLY need to find something that
can link to some form of "Goes To." If someone could link Sulphur with
Spinal Tap or a heavy metal cliche, that would work. Or if they can get
us to a link from Sulphur to the title of a New Wave punk/rock album,
that would work too. (XTC had "Go 2" in 1970-something -- 1977, maybe?)

Ok, no more plus 1'ing. They don't count at the moment. I collect all
the valid names that aren't duplicates, they get run past legal, and
then you can plus 1 until your fingers fall off.
Forgive me if I'm grumpy, but this thread will be huge as it is, and

British variants of American noun spellings: spectre, camomile, draught,
gaol, demagogue (marginal, demagog is rare in the US too), saltpetre
(double points for both being components of gunpowder).
Towns in Clarke County, Indiana: Whiskey Run.
County seats in Oklahoma: Ada, Kingfisher.
Mountains in Alberta: Babel, Diadem, The Finger, Gong.
Finally, if we insist on using other element names, I propose the
narrower class of "elements with many allotropes", in which case
phosphorus is probably the next best candidate.
Ada and Saltpetre definitely fit with the steampunk art theme.

We already had a "Fisher" back in the day so I think we should avoid
Kingfisher. But and Lovelace reference would be good.
Nitre would be even better (pun on nitrous oxide, which is used to
make cars etc gp faster) as a precursor to black powder.

(Solar) Flare
Sulphur influence life (making it) a flare influence life (destroying it).
Flare obseletes sulphur.
Also Fedora Flare sounds nice
And for Fedora 11 you can link Lightning to Flare. Flare is Fast, but

Well, ... the possibilities are endless:
A bunch of (fluorescent coloured) straws.
A doily.
A difference engine (that would fit the steam punk theme which a
number of people have mentioned elsewhere).
A portrait of Ada.
A portrait of Linda.

I like that steam punk thing. The "feersum enjinn" (spelling?)

Xenon.
- It's symbol is X (but it's not the name), which is the same as the
release number.
- It's an element.
- It really promotes the "science lab" possibilities of Fedora.
- We could be the *second* example of a Xenon-Sulfur bond (see

Sulfur is an element, not a chemical.
josh
To be a little pedantic, chemical -- the noun usage is defined in my dictionary
as "A substance produced by or used in a chemical process".
The adjective usage is defined as 1. "Of or pertaining to chemistry" 2. "Of
or
pertaining to the properties of chemicals".
Strictly speaking all elements are chemicals. Chemical compounds usually have
multiple elements but a single element is still a chemical.

To be a little pedantic, chemical -- the noun usage is defined in my dictionary
as "A substance produced by or used in a chemical process".
The adjective usage is defined as 1. "Of or pertaining to chemistry" 2.
"Of or
pertaining to the properties of chemicals".
Strictly speaking all elements are chemicals. Chemical compounds usually have
multiple elements but a single element is still a chemical.
Indeed you are right. My chemistry teacher would be sorely
disappointed in me.

Acid -- "we are all on Acid" or "give it an Acid test"
sulfur is a chemical -> acid is a chemical.
Acid is not a chemical per se, it is a property.

Lysergic Acid Diethylamide :) (or more appropriately
Lysergsaeurediethylamid). We could dedicate Fedora 10 to Albert
Hoffman, and then say ours goes to 102.

That's one of the possible interpretations. aka LSD =8-)
There are plenty of pictures and diagrams for it.
There is already one in the xscreensaver "molecule" available in Fedora.

The correct word for the property is "acidic". Sulfuric acid is acidic i.e. has
the the properties of an acid.

"Farnsworth"
Sulpher is a producer of blue flame.
(Pete) Farnsworth is a producer of Blue Flame.
Cuz dude, *rocket cars*. :)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Flame_%28car%29
This could obviously lead to either Futurama references or to famous
inventors. Additional minor benefits: the name has 10 letters, and "Fedora
Farnsworth" is alliterative.

well, not important to me but couldn't resist ...
IMO you should avoid any mistical and religious similarities and funny
comparisms (remember what the fanatics brought up about the BSD daemon, even
if completely wrong)
also avoid fantasies, but probably you were already in hell so you know about
sulfur there :) ... there is no hell and sulfur at first thought derives
from "old eggs" and sometimes next day from beer excess and other marvelous
things
you wouldn't use the name gaschamber either in synomity to holocaust so please
let the hell, gods, wizzards and witches out
sooo, if you want express something strong, powerful and related to science
but still mistical in a certain way you eventually like nitrogen or hidrogen
or something else more real

At the same time, it's just an airport that happened to have been built
under the Nazi regime. I didn't see people worrying that much watching

sulphur is the cause of the smell in Rotorua, New Zealand... from Wikipedia:
" Rotorua is nicknamed Sulphur City, because of the aforementioned
thermal activity. The sulphur gives off an odour unique to Rotorua that
adds to the visitor experience."
Lots of potential names for F11, flipflop (what some of the politicians
like to do and an alternative name for a jandal), Trout, Volcano... I
dunno there are a heck lot more.

Nope. "Sulphur" is a "yellow stone". ;-)

A little added twist here. I'd like to give the Fedora Board a chance
at culling the list a little bit before sending on to Legal. There were
a number of names that made it through the "is a" test and Legal that
might not have been the best ideas for naming a release. Add to that
the fact that Red Hat has used outside Legal to do the name clearance
the last few times and that is a measurable cost both in time and money.
The more names we ask to clear the more expensive and longer the delay
will be before we have a set to vote upon. So I am asking the Fedora
Board to review the list of names that Josh has collected and remove any
they deem not acceptable as a Fedora release name before handing it to
Legal.
(Note, I haven't yet directly talked to the board about this, so I'm
just assuming that they'll be on... board... with this.)

Where <blank> is the same for both
2) The link between <NewName> and Sulphur cannot be the same as between

Hi,
Apparently humans make mistakes. I'm told this is a result of many
different things, including fat fingers and this very irritating
problem of not having perfect memories.
So. Apologies. It wasn't intentional. If you'd like, I'll extend the
deadline for another 4 days and you can forward the initial
announcement to whatever lists you'd like. Just make sure the replies
get to me so I can collect them.

Perhaps not. But perhaps the chance to participate in the naming of a
distribution is a treat we gift upon those that do...
In the early days the naming was picked by those who were in the office
late at night hacking crap together to make the release happen. Then it
moved to something more where a few people would pick some names and
then those would get voted on by members of fedora-maintainers-list.
Then we allowed said maintainers to offer suggestions. Then we shut
down fedora-maintainers-list and moved the suggestions to
fedora-devel-list. The spirit is the same, those that are slogging
along and putting up with the traffic and doing the necessary work are
those who get some bonus in offering suggestions for the name of the
next release. Actually voting on the names that have made it back
through the board and Legal will be open to a far broader range of
Fedora contributors.

I think you tread a fine line there.
Most contributors are on fedora-devel list or follow it some way.
However, I can see how some on docs or art, who _are_ doing, wouldn't
be. Hence my offer to extend it for 4 days so Karsten can forward the
rules email to the contributing groups he thinks might not be following
fedora-devel.

I totally agree here, the Docs team salve away right before release
ensuring that (for instance) the release notes are correct and factual,
and that we can produce some documentation so our users can use what we
the maintainers do.
You could use the exact same rationale to say that the Artwork guys get
a say too.
Package maintainers are only one (although large) component of any
Fedora release.

Josh and all, thanks. Sorry for my original parade raining attitude;
I'm as responsible as anyone for not making sure changes were written
down enough to be fixed or repeated next time.
By now all of you (who have signed/agreed to the CLA) have received the
email I sent. You can let me know if it is in the right spirit. When
given the task by Josh to "make the list we send the announcement to", I
realized there was no way I could make such a list and be fair. Thus, I
picked the mark of those have agreed to the the CLA, as that is our
general mark for "contributor."
Of course, they still have to be bold enough to come on this list and
put forward their suggestion. :)

I'm not sure I like the incinuation that reading f-d-l on a constant
basis and "doing the necessary work" are the same thing. (Or even
directly related...)

Yeah I think I phrased that poorly. I meant it as a treat for those
that put up with reading through all the mail. But as we all know, the
best intentions yadda yadda.

Sulphur is a breed of horse...
In that case, I nominate "Tennessee Stud". The only problem left is to
tie that to "Ours goes to..." for F11. :-)
