Sounds like a cool idea, but how are we supposed to know which "name"
is newer?

Well let's see there could be :

2.beaver.rolling
2.beaver.sparking
2.beaver.toking
2.beaver.passing
2.beaver.stoned
2.beaver.tripping

The names could be chosen alphabetically.  Rooster was mentioned for
2.7, but since 2.6 is beaver, I propose cock, as 'c' follows 'b'.

Oh great.

Are you two aware of which body parts are sometimes called
"beaver" and "cock"?

[SILLY] Can't wait for '2.8 or 3.0'

[Maciej Soltysiak]

> Are you two aware of which body parts are sometimes called
> "beaver" and "cock"?
Hehe, the funny thing is, that I noticed it just now :-) Maybe let's skip
the cock.
Anyway, the names, if any, should be non-offensive, could be from nature
(eg.
plants, flowers, animals, stars, geology, geography, physics)
and could somehow reflect the nature of the kernel branch.

Beaver's cool for 2.6. The name is nice, the animal is sweet. The sexual
conotation
is not really that bad, but it should not be emphasized.
And the quote about the beaver getting out of detox is funny too.

With time we would decide on the next codename. So I am not into
competition right now.

I might make a web based system for us to decide. First on the set of
codenames proposed in some time for, say, 2.7 and then we could vote
on them.

Regards,
Maciej

Being more than happy with beaver, I don't think I'd getting involved with de-
bugging cock. I'd probably wait until Tit is released. I've always been fond 
of tits.

You mean a variety of the small winged creatures that spend the days
singing in the trees, aka birds?

Absolutely. Blue tits are my favourites. Very common during the cold winter 
months in the UK.

I don't think cock is politically correct and marketing safe.  Even 
chicken is better :)

Also just kidding. But on the other hand: what will be the next version ?

Why the next version will be 2.6.1 :) it's pretty obvious.

I think we should consider introduce a policy of having .*beaver.*
names for each 2.6.x release, and maybe drop the version numbers
altogether during 2.7.

How about a naming policy of something going along this:
Stag (2.2)
Wolfling (2.4)
Beaver (2.6)
Rooster (2.7)
Ostrich (2.8)
Sharkey (2.9)
Cheetah (3.0)

And all having names of animals. Like in Croatia, their local currency
has only pictures of animals and plants on the bills and coins.

Pretty nice and neutral. Also codenames might make it
sound less technical for buzzword-orientated folks in the media
and other users.

Oh, and you would know which is better becase you would
here one or the other more often in terms of something new and fresh.

Maciej

The stable releases should have the names of nice non-threatening
herbivores, like beaver, and the development trees should have names of
omnivores. Subreleases can have an adjective prepended, like singing,
dancing, horny, constipated... well, maybe someone else should do the
naming of subversions ;-)

A good job by any name.
