Hi:
I'm breaking the name discussion into a different thread to help
organize our thoughts. And because I forgot to put this in my previous
email.
Here are the names of the current spins:
Design-suite
Electronic-Lab
Games
KDE
LXDE
Robotics
Scientific-KDE
Security
SoaS
XFCE
They're all boring, except SoaS ("Sugar on a Stick" for the Sugar
desktop environment on a USB stick). Thus I suggest the following, some
of which have already been suggested:
Audio
Music
Audio-Creation
Music-Creation
Audio-KDE (especially good if we choose GNOME)
Security (we'll ask them to borrow the spin name... nobody will find
us... it'll be the most secure spin ever!)
Sound Creator
Soundwave
Also David, I object to your end-tag for friday_mood. In Fedora, it's
always the weekend!
Christopher.

I'm in favor of a non boring name since artists should be at least quazi
creative. Shame fedora remix is already a thing. So far Fedora Jam is my
favorite.
A few more ideas...
MixBooth
Studio (kinda boring and stolen from Ubuntu but isn't that the point of
opensource, taking what works?)
ControlRoom
Muse
Bach In Black
MixDown
Aftertouch
AUX
Fidelity
Amplitude

Point taken.
A few more ideas...
MixBooth
Fine.
Studio (kinda boring and stolen from Ubuntu but isn't that the

Fine, and yes sometimes.
ControlRoom
Fine.
Muse
Fine.
Bach In Black
NOOOOOOOOOO.
MixDown
Fine.
Aftertouch
Fine.
AUX
Cool.
Fidelity
Depends on the users' computers. :P
Amplitude
Fine.
I would really like to avoid any reference to some sort of mainstream
classical music composer. Probably any reference to a specific music
creator is culturally dependent, implies privilege of a specific
culture, and is therefore unwise.

Hahaha... yeah that one wasn't so serious, but I felt like I had to throw
it in there somewhere just to see if anyone noticed. -_^

I agree with not using
references to any composer as an official name,
i think it would be a great code name for a release. "Fedora Jam 18,
Engelbert" and "Fedora Jam 19, Shostakovich" :p

Nice idea, but might be a bit much, given the recent discussion about
the redundancy of Fedora release names in general:
Fedora 17 Beefy Miracle Jam Hendrix

classical music composer. Probably any reference to a specific music creator

Well, any name that isn't completely bland will do that to some
degree. Even 'Fedora Jam' has certain cultural associations (you might
argue it excludes classical musicians). The questions are really:
1. Does it actively put people off?
2. Does it positively promote the spin?
As long as it's not enough to discourage people then content is more
important. I'd rather argue against using a composer or performer name
on the basis it's sort of static, it creates a long-standing tie to
one individual (though I like the assonance of Thelonious Fedora...).
Which is maybe exactly what you meant, but not so much privilege as
associating with. That and 'Bach' puns are just terrible generally...
One and a half other ideas:
- Fedora Beat (common factor of a few earlier suggestions).
- Fedora Bandmate (suggests something that works alongside you, also,
contrary to what I've just said, quite neutral, even more so than
'garage band' which has a bit of a lo-fi hint to it).
Anyway, people seem to like Jam and a debate over naming could go on forever.

The result of the poll was tied[1]. After a coin toss the new name
landed on Fedora Jam
So congratulations, we are now no longer working on "Fedora Audio
spin", we are working on Fedora Jam

It's now the spin with the coolest name, next step: coolest spin full stop.
