Should Ubuntu 10.10 be called Mighty Mouse?

[bwzz]

Most probably there is a nick name already, but just wondering...

[NoaHall]

Doh. Misread the title.

[Psumi]

No. It should be called Lucid Lynx. And it is. So I win. ;)

No, that's 10.04, not 10.10

[FuturePilot]

No. It should be called Lucid Lynx. And it is. So I win. ;)

Lucid is not 10.10

[AllRadioisDead]

No.

[Crunchy the Headcrab]

I don't think they could get away with that since they are a company sponsored distro. I like it though, so I said yes.

oh, sorry, wrong thread!

[pwnst*r]

no.

[Diluted]

Mighty Mouse is apparently a trademarked name. Apple had to change their Mighty Mouse to be called the Apple Mouse.

So no. Not worth the risk of being sued.

I vote for R.O.U.S. Ubuntu

No; there would likely be licensing issues.
Apple for the computer end of things, and who ever owns the rights to the cartoon for the rest.

Best to leave sleeping mice lie.

Um yes, I'd forgotten about that. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mighty_Mouse

Wouldn't that be 14.10?

good point... actually, it should be the last distro produced by cannonical... but there's no way to claim that :(

Version 13.10 could be called Twisted Turd.

I think Linus already came up with a good name for Ubuntu 10.10 when he spoke about the OpenBSD devs in this message (see the second last paragraph):

[kyuubi777]

haha nice.. that would be soo cool, although i doubt the rest of the source community would get as much of kick from it...
it would definitely turn off outsiders

Haha. Linus has an attitude :)

Copyrights aside, it sounds too cartoonish for such a serious project.

It shouldn't be Mighty Mouse because that's the name of a peripheral made by Apple(is crap).

Yeah right. Cos Gutsy Gibbon doesn't sound cartoonish, does it? Or Feisty Fawn. Or Intrepid Ibex. Or Jaunty Jackalope. Or Karmic Koala...

Oh yeah, that would be a grrreat name for 10.10. Pity most of the devs wouldn't have the guts to do it. I mean, a few devs might put that name on 10.10; but the others would just jerk it off straight away.

:p
