MX-18 Names? Ideas?

#1 Post by manyroads »

I feel a bit presumptuous, but I saw mention of name considerations for the next release of MX in another thread. Perhaps a dedicated thread would help?

If not, moderators please feel free to 'nuke' this. :eek:

I support your idea @manyroads and suggest a couple of names:
MX Constellation

If it were me making the call on MX Linux names, which it isn't, I'd first select a theme for the names, like metals, trees, gems, cloud formations, or similar...

Having chosen a theme, then I'd allow Forum members to vote on a selection of say 5 options. For example, if metals were chosen as the theme, then perhaps the next release would be one of:
* Tungsten
* Titanium
* Bronze
* Silver
etc....

I think you get the idea. I'll crawl back under my rock now... :bagoverhead:

We don't exactly use a theme, just the components such as style, icon, window treatment, etc.

Good idea, so to sumarise:
viewtopic.php?f=48&t=46948&start=10#p466737

MX-17 is called "Horizon". Here are some other bold "space" related names:

MX18 Constellation
MX18 Avatar
MX18 Tungsten
MX18 Titanium
MX18 Bronze
MX18 Silver
MX18 Aurora
MX18 Continuum
MX18 Eclipse
MX18 Infinity
MX18 Latitude
MX18 Zodiac
MX18 Serenity
MX18 Stellar
etc...

I was thinking of the naming theme. I see mention of "space." Does that mean that "Horizon" is an event horizon? Also, my sieve-brain can't recall the previous names.

I like the name "Continuum", which was brought up by someone, somewhere.
And for the reason given - it will still be based on the same Debian.

If there is already a naming 'theme'... in other words release names are thematic (space oriented or whatever)... then it should be easy to gather a list of candidate names here, then develop a poll, and have folks vote on them. If this is a US based election, the one coming in second can then be the winner. Opps I didn't say that did I???? :eek:
