Stallman is an animal? :confused: [Stallman is Monkey's uncle, maybe? :P]


Ubuntu Code Names Guide:

The development codename of a release takes the form "Adjective Animal".

So for example: Warty Warthog (Ubuntu 4.10), Hoary Hedgehog (Ubuntu 5.04), Breezy Badger (Ubuntu 5.10), are the first three releases of Ubuntu. In general, people refer to the release using the adjective, like "warty" or "breezy". The names live on in one hidden location---the archive release name in /etc/apt/sources.list and seen on the download mirror network.

[Sabretooth]

Indelible Ibex sounds fine by me!

[vishzilla]

Iffy Icebear!!!

[bonzodog]

Lets see, Hardy Heron is going to be the next LTS , thus the use of the name 'hardy'. When they set a codename, they try to use a descriptor that describes where the distro is at.

Dapper was effectively version 1, Hardy is going to be version 2. Think in 2 year- 4 release cycles for going from unstable to stable. So, logically, it makes 8.10 the first one in a new cycle - thus unstable, much like 'edgy' described the first of the version 2 cycle.

So, look at names that describe cutting edge, alpha/beta software, possibly likely to kill things on your system type of thing. 'Iffy icebear' would actually be a good one. :D

[Tom Mann]

Irritated Iguana

[Ultra Magnus]

How about "Intrepid I*"

intrepid - not LTS so you have to be brave to use it
Not many animals beginning with "I"

Iguana - isn't opensuse's mascot an iguana
Ibex - Pretty Cool - they do have awesome horns
Impala - Not as cool as Ibex's
Icebear - According to the internet icebears aren't an actual species

[argie]

Damn! They actually listed Ichthyosaur! Damn! I thought I'd be first.
'Irie Imp', now that's Rasta!

Indelible Ibex
I read that as 'Inedible' the first time.

horny horse... those would be awesome (but horrible) names.
randy rabbits... man these guys are horrible.

but for I... I have no Idea what an icebear is, but it sounds friggin awesome.
it should also be on fire... so... ignited?

flaming icebears... that would make awesome wallpaper. There's gotta be a better word than ignited for "Ahhh, i'm a bear made of ice, and I've suddenly caught fire!"
icebears may burn but they never melt, they're just that cool.

[maniac_X]

Crazy Crocodile :)
but if they are now following the alphabetical theme, then something with Iguana maybe.Note: The common iguana ({Iguana tuberculata}) of the West
Indies and South America is sometimes five feet long.
Its flesh is highly prized as food. The horned iguana
({Iguana cornuta}) has a conical (insert Canonical instead :)) horn between the eyes.

Well, as has been said already, wouldn't the next release use an 'H', as a follow-on for Gutsy Gibbon? For example:

Hungry Hippo
Heroic Heron
Handsome Hornet
Happy Hoopoe
... etc...

[Paqman]

Enough of these punchy two-syllable names! I present to you:

Incongruous Icthyosaur!

[frup]

I don't care about the animal but I like the adjective Itchy. Just like edgy was bleeding edge, so will 8.10. Itchy in the sense of itching to show us something new etc. etc. is quite apt I think.

[Officer Dibble]

Enough of these punchy two-syllable names! I present to you:

Incongruous Icthyosaur!

Sounds impressive... but 'H' comes after 'G'... and what's more is that Ubuntu ain't extinct, nor is it goin' that direction... :D

Hungry Hippo... you know it's got to happen... :guitar:

Hey, what's that GrumpyGroundhog thing?
GrumpyGroundhog is a process to produce an "Ubuntu-derived" distribution containing a crack-of-the-day set of packages. This distribution will never actually be released; instead it will be in a state of perpetual development, representing the very cutting edge of upstream and distro packaging.
So... How can it be a distribution if it'll never be distributed??

[happysmileman]

I'll vote for "Itchy Ibex"

The wild goat that runs and hides from the big bad leopard...

My tip for 8.10 is the Intuitive InchwormI would hate Ubuntu if they called a release Intuitive I*. Intuitive has been passed around as buzz words with User Friendly so much that I think they actually mean less than New and Improved.

[yatt]

See? Impala makes everything great.I agree. Impala has my vote for animal. We just need a good adjective.

How about we bring back the nudie wallpapers and call it Indecent Impala?

My friends and i were beginning to wonder about the names for ubuntu. Since it seems they were going along the alphabet we were wondering what they were gonna do when they got to more difficult letters. Here is what we came up with - animals came from http://animals.nationalgeographic.com/

Zippy Zebra - This one actually could work
Terrific Tapeworm
Ironic Iguana
Perky Pigeon
Jazzy Jaguar
Upcast Urchin
Vermilion Velociraptor
Quadratic Quetzal
Xanthic Xiphactinus Audax (http://animals.nationalgeographic.com/animals/enlarge/xiphactinus-image.html)- This is what sparked the thread

What can you come up with? (Note: this is just in fun)

[SunnyRabbiera]

err well "Jazzy Jaguar" might get apple mad at us as jaguar is a version of OSX...
my suggestion for J is "Jumping Jackrabbit"
and terriffic tapeworm... err sounds more nasty then anything...

[K.Mandla]

:shock: Oh no! Not another thread about future release names! For that we have a special honor! An all-expenses-paid journey to ... Recurring Discussions! Wow! Rod, tell them what they've won. ...

[lyceum]

The next one, 8.10, will start with an "I".

Intense Ibis (a bird that feeds in groups)

Ideal Iguana (a lizard)

Inspired Impala (African Antalope)

[SomeGuyDude]

I think "Impish Ibex" has the best ring to it. It's gotta be two syllables per word, max, otherwise it doesn't roll off the tongue that well.

Jazzy Jackal for the next one, then Kinky Kiwi, Lofty Llama, Mystic Marmot, Naughty Narwhal, Oily Orca (maybe skip the O's...), Perky Porpoise, Quirky Quail, Rugged Raptor, Snazzy Swan, Trippy Toad...

THE U...

...Vibrant Vixen, Zany Zebra.

By the way, if by the time we hit the U's, they don't simply call that version The U and put like an extra six months into it to make it the ultimate version of Ubuntu ever made, I'm gonna be disappointed.

Immaculate Iguana
Innocuous Indra
Inquisitive Izer
Impeccable Ilisha

Anyone got any others? Maybe we'll get lucky and the developers will use one of our names. We can always hope :lolflag:

Imp sounds pretty good...just hope it doesn't lead to discussions of BSD and their mascot :popcorn:

Not many animals beginning with "I"

Iguana - isn't opensuse's mascot an iguana
Ibex - Pretty Cool - they do have awesome horns
Impala - Not as cool as Ibex's
Icebear - According to the internet icebears aren't an actual species

WE HAVE A WINNER!!!!!=D>

Intrepid Ibex it is, just announced! See https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2008-February/025136.html for details.

[Barrucadu]

It will be called Intrepid Ibex

No, I don't like the name either :P

I've learned the numbers to improve advocating Ubuntu. The name Ubuntu is quite enough for people to deal with without explaining the joke name.

The ibex is on the coat-of-arms of the Swiss canton of Graubünden or (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graub%C3%BCnden)Grisons (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graub%C3%BCnden).

someone recommended icy iguana, in another thread, i think it would be cool, they could ditch the brown theme and go for a icy blue one lol

EDIT: scratch that, now that i think of it, intrepid ibex is cool.. just think about it, intrepid ... ibex... (God, .. i'm such a tool)

[Spike-X]

*psst* You misspelled 'Intrepid'.

Thanks for the heads-up.


And as for Mazza558, I get your drift.

Here's a correctly spelled and edited version.

O.K. so it's pretty much settled for 8.10
But what about 9.04 ??
I'll kick off with "Jumping Jellyfish" I'm sure you can do better !

[Barrucadu]

I say it should be Ubuntu 9.04 Graceful Girraffe :D

I wonder, what will come after 'Ying Yang'?:lolflag:

I have been busy installing a few Hardy's this week. Congrats to the developers. It solves a few long standing problems I have had.

Next fall, Intrepid Ibix. Before Hardy, Feisty Fawn and Gutsy Gibbon.

After that I see trouble.

There are no J adjectives or animals that start with J I can think of with positive connotations!

Kute or Kinky or Kute Kuola is there if Ubuntu survives the J crisis.

Is this the end of Ubuntu?!!!?
