 vcunat | If someone comes with a different sensible proposal, why not discuss it 🤷 | 08:00:21 |
 Grimmauld (any/all) | Vicuna was already broken in boot screens because unicode. Can we stick to latin alphabet please? | 12:21:35 |
 SigmaSquadron | numbers | 13:45:32 |
| SigmaSquadron | we can scale to infinity that way | 13:45:52 |
| vcunat | We have floats already, e.g. 25.11 now 😉 | 13:46:59 |
 infinisil | There is only one correct answer: | 21:58:53 |
| infinisil | 
Download IMG_3690.jpeg | 21:59:02 |
 hexa | we had Aa already with 13.10 😬 | 22:02:16 |
| infinisil | Could do https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aardwolf :P | 22:11:12 |
 leona | I hope the RM with XX is a animal researcher then ^^ I don’t think there’s an animal starting with Xx yet | 22:12:55 |
| hexa | Aard means Earth, so nah 😄 | 22:13:00 |
| hexa | don't think we need to go that far | 22:13:41 |
| infinisil | Serious suggestion: Celestial objects. Moons, planets, stars, galaxies, nebulas, etc. | 22:13:45 |
| hexa | yeah, and follow a direction | 22:13:56 |
| hexa | less of a choice and more like a path travelled | 22:14:56 |
| infinisil | Might be too restrictive, most celestial objects don't have nice names, like X Æ A-12 | 22:16:30 |
| infinisil | Oh wait | 22:16:51 |
| hexa | that's so judgy of you | 22:17:27 |
| leona | There are very many minor planets | 22:17:36 |
| leona | (that's my current naming schema for infra) | 22:17:46 |
| infinisil | Another serious suggestion: Geographical features, like vulcanos, mountains, caverns, lakes, deserts, etc. | 22:20:59 |
| infinisil | And another one: Historically significant figures, like researchers, explorers, etc.
Could show off people that should be more well known for the cool things they did | 22:22:44 |
 Alyssa Ross | people in history can be a bit messy. brings morality issues into play a lot more than animals, galaxies, etc. | 22:24:49 |
 Scrumplex | Can't wait for Kuwubernetes but NixOS | 22:34:22 |
| Grimmauld (any/all) | In reply to @qyliss:fairydust.space
people in history can be a bit messy. brings morality issues into play a lot more than animals, galaxies, etc. Same for place names. Like, the only safe place name to pick would be places in international waters and the Antarctic. Once you start naming a release "Yellowstone" or something, things get really messy. | 22:44:39 |
| Grimmauld (any/all) | I think there is a couple aspects to watch out for. I am not sure what the best answer is, but I'll list what I think is needed for a naming scheme | 22:47:51 |
 Sigmanificient | We are moving out of animals names? | 22:48:15 |
| Grimmauld (any/all) |
- Latin alphabet: a technical limitation, we want boot names to display it correctly. No Unicode.
- "Neutral" names. We want everyone to identify with a release, or at least not be alienated by a name.
- memorable names. Just a number is not super memorable. It works, but then we wouldn't need code names at all.
- clear ordering. Lexicographic ordering is good, because it is obvious. Distances of celestial bodies would not be immediately obvious.
