Feisty + 1 = Grandiose Gazelle

[jason_yes_jason]

Its about that time for speculation to begin on the codename for Ubuntu 7.10

Lets hear your ideas...

[spd106]

How about Groovy Grilse?

[Rumo]

There is already the GrumpyGroundhog variant. So feisty+1 will not start with a 'G'.

[spd106]

There's already Hoary Hedgehog, so no H either.

[drunken-wallaby]

restless roo

[loell]

there is also impi so not "i"

[rocknrolf77]

Zleepy Zebra :) Or maybe Sleepy Squirrel :)

[bapoumba]

Moved the thread to "Cafe Ubuntu".

[DoctorMO]

Jazzed Jaguar, our own mac os x joke

or

Jewled Jellyfish

or

Jumping Joey

there aint a lot of named animals with J

[Kimm]

Serious Salmon
Likeable Lynx

[Tomosaur]

Kickass Koala?

[ronacc]

leaping lemming ? oop's mabye not bad vibes.

[maniacmusician]

Impi is not an Ubuntu "version", it's a separate distro , or perhaps you could call it a derivative. I'm pretty sure the next Ubuntu release will have an I... I.. codename.

[ronacc]

itchy impala

[DoctorMO]

Irate Iguana or indigenous Ice Wolf... although my personal favourite: Intellectual Idiotfish.

[fuscia]

if cheetahs chuffle, then 'chuffling cheetah'.

(and now, on to the silly *****...)

goosed goose
toasted toad (that's 'toasted' as in 'wasted', not 'cooked')
fornicating fire-ant
puhssy platypus
pissy penguin
bushy bush baby

(and still my favorite...)

humping hyena

Uh, since when? Warty Warthog, Hoary Hedgehog, Breezy Badger, Dapper Drake, Edgy Eft, Feisty Fawn....no Groundhogs there

Icy Ike

[hardyn]

jumpin' jaguar

[ronacc]

when we get to zippy zebra do we reset to audacious aardvark ?

[diepruis]

Dodgy Duck! FTW!

[hardyn]

'audacious aardvark' i like that...

Live Lemur, Lightning Lemur

[Perfect Storm]

audacious aardvark' i like that...


Muwah! If it's ever turns out to be that codename, alot of people will bite themself in the tounge to pronouncing it :lolflag: (can you say it ten times in a row fast :D )

[loell]

i know its a derivative, i'm just messing around like the others :guitar:

[hardyn]

are the project names decided upon ahead of time... or do they come here for ideas?

[beercz]

The release names for ubuntu have been discussed several times in the cafe, and there is a Grumpy Groundhog version. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DevelopmentCodeNames?highlight=%28names%29

My suggestion: idiotic iguana

And because I am learning ubuntu/linux all the time: improving ian :lolflag:

[maniacmusician]

Grumpy Groundhog is kind of like the trunk of Ubuntu. It's just a dumping ground for code...it's never stable. Ever. It's not a periodic release like the others, and most people don't even know about it...but it does have a codename, so we can't name Feisty +1 G... G... .

I could see Improving Ian getting a LOT of press attention on sites like Slashdot. Debian already doesn't like us too much, they would take that name offensively.

[maniacmusician]

sorry, I don't get it...why would they take it offensively?

[qalimas]

Ian is the name of the man behind Debian, is it not?

Improving Ian, taken as Improving upon Debian, implying Ubuntu is better than Debian. The developers would take that as a bash :popcorn:

[ronacc]

aw come on , nothing like a good flamewar to spice up the posts!

Ah, I see. Didn't know that Ian was the man behind Debian. Makes much more sense now :)

Yeah, that probably wouldn't be a good idea :)

[enopepsoo]

I know it breaks from the naming convention, but how about Jellied Eel?:guitar:

[Quillz]

I think you're right. Perhaps "Intrepid Icon" or something.

[macogw]

Yep, and Ian Murdoch's wife's name was Deb. Deb & Ian....Debian :D

So, it's essentially what the Feisty testers (like me) are using right now, and if I decide to not stop off at stable Feisty, I'd be staying on Grumpy Groundhog? I'm not really intending to stop at Feisty and wait for the next one. I like getting to play with the new toys ^_^

Not really like Feisty...Feisty is more polished and finished than Grumpy. Grumpy is just a collection of the latest CVS builds at any given time. It's just a dumping ground for code, and there's no effort made to clean it up. It's not even an actual release...it doesn't actually exist...it's just a codename given to the collective bleeding edge code at any given point.

Feisty is when some of that code gets finished and gets implemented into a working system.

My wife's name is also Debbie (i.e. Deb) - spooky!! :-)

Improving Ian is still my favourite though ;-)

I like imp, how about impressive imp?

:o, with an imp i will constantly have a tyrion lannister wallpaper! :D

Would be better for Feisty+1

but Icy Imp maybe for the one after that!

groovy giraffe
groovy goose
groovy gander

[graabein]

Dodgy Dolphin?
Gorgeous Gorilla? Go-Go Gorilla?
Great Goose?

I like Humping Hyena. Improving Ian is clever but I think too many will find it offensive.

Animals E to L (http://www.oldwoodtoys.com/animals_e_to_l.htm)

[mediax]

I like Impressive Imp - especially if it were for an LTS version.

Otherwise, how about Interesting Imp?

[Erik Trybom]

If they decide on an G:

Grinning Goat
Groovy Gibbon
Gallant Gazelle

If they want an I instead:

Impressive Impala
Incredible Iguana
Itchy Insect

It'll be fun to see if the chosen name will actually be from the wiki page.

[caryb]

Will it be G G? I guess the name guessing begins! So its II!


Cary:confused:

[knn]

Grumpy Groundhog is the name of Ubuntu unstable, so it should be H H

[Colonel Kilkenny]

H has already been used with Hoary.

[caryb]

Hyacinth Hare?

[Zdravko]

I think it will start with the letter 'I' (e, f, g, h already reserved).

[caryb]

if you dont know whats an isopod i attached an image ;)

@ caryb: I've merged your thread in this one.

[Erik Trybom]

BWAHAHAHA!! I just read the funniest comment ever on Slashdot:

The "G" version...
(Score:5, Funny)
by Anonymous Coward on Friday March 23, @04:54PM (#18464565)

Next release will be "Gaping Goatse". It will give an entirely new meaning to "Open Source"...

[zanglang]

Iguana's taken up by Suse (Okay, that's a chameleon, but they look relatively similar, can't have that). Will have to be a different mascot. :P

I like Grandiose Gazelle though, flashy but not without calibre (well-polished UI), light and nimble (runs faster than other distros), elegant (very smooth usage experience), junglish (goes with the African brown idea), and non-carnivorous (absolutely user friendly, won't bite).

Well, that took a while! Still can't think of something for X X, though. :)

Sexy Snake? :D. Needs to be shocking to get those teens to start using it.

We tried that once before, remember?

as feisty is nearing release, does anyone know if the developers have settled on a new code name?

[maniacmusician]

Don't they first have to decide on goals for the next release? I was under the impression that goals determined the codename. For instance, Edgy Eft was supposed to introduce some new, unstable technologies. Feisty Fawn focuses on cosmetics and the maturation of some features. So, I think they'll choose their codename based on whatever the goals and aspirations for the next release are.

[newbie2]

what about something totally different from previous editions : MARAFIKI = circle of friends in swahili language :mrgreen:

That sounds like a perfect name for an Ubuntu derivative. :)

When is Feisty finishing Beta testing and getting its full release?
