[SOLVED] Don't have a cow, man: Fedora 19 naming suggestions are now open. Submit your idea!

[Demz3]

Greetings and salutations!

It is time once again to choose the name for the next release of Fedora.
Suggestions for names will be accepted beginning RIGHT THIS SECOND
(October 9, 2012), and ending promptly at the end of the day on October
16, 2012 (23:59:59 UTC). So mooooooove on over, and help to pick out an
udderly fabulous name for the next release.

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Name_..._for_Fedora_19

The awesome fine print:

You *must* follow the instructions and guidelines at the page listed
above if you want your name to be considered. For instance, there must
be an "is-a" link between the name "Spherical Cow" (from Fedora 18) and
the name you suggest. That link must be different than previous links
for Fedora release names. Names of living people and well-known
trademarks will likely be rejected as well. (Apologies to those wishing
to make links between spherical cows having spots, and Tom Callaway.)

You can also find full schedule details for the release naming process
on the above page. For those of you interested in reviewing the history
of Fedora release names, there is an appropriately named wiki page for
doing so: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Histor..._release_names

I fully expect that, as always, we will have a delightful (and
occasionally wacky) assortment of names to choose from - I look forward
to seeing your suggestions!

I like the conical frustum in that page - Mathematical - should fit Linux very well

[DBelton]

I just hope it has nothing to do with cows, beef or miracles. Beefy Miracle was the stupidest name ever for a release, and I will certainly be glad when it hits EOL so I don't have to see it mentioned anymore.

If 'Elastic Horses' is chosen, then I will go back to windows

[DBelton]

:rofl:

Elastic Horses?? Where did they come up with that one? It's almost as bad as Boiling Frog

Schrödinger's cat isn't too great either... At least not for a OS release name, but much better than Elastic Horses...

I kinda like Happy Dragon, myself.

[JamesNZ]

Happy Dragon???!!!

I vote 'Welkin'. Let sense prevail

how about Mad Cow

[PatMcLJr]

Crop Circle

I don't want Newton, Hally, Armstrong, et al! I think these are the names for scientific linux ....

Go Conical Frustum !!!

I'd favor Solar Wind, although I sure don't like the connection. Frankly, after two attempts at naming humor, I think it's time we got back to something a bit more adult.

[MauserM98]

What about: Hoggus Flatulensis.

[DBelton]

Hoggus Flatulensis? Is that the latin name for Solar Wind?

[nonamedotc]

I thought it was Latin for "Holy Cow"

[DBelton]

The cow was only holy after being hit with those solar farts.
