Hi All,
It's that time of year again. Time to start the naming process for the next Fedora release.
To recap on the rules:
- <NewName> must have some link to Cambridge
More specifically, the link should be Cambridge is a <blank> and <NewName> is a <blank> Where <blank> is the same for both
- The link between <NewName> and Cambridge cannot be the same as
between Sulphur and Cambridge. That link was "both are cities".
We're doing the name collection differently this year than in the past. Contributors wishing to make a suggestion are asked to go to the F11 naming wiki page, and add an entry to the suggestion table found there:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Name_suggestions_for_Fedora_11
The naming submissions are open starting now until Dec 8. The rest of the schedule is outlined on the wiki page.
So, put on your thinking caps and come up with some really good suggestions!
Happy naming.
I think we may find a good name on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabindranath_Tagore
There is a famous peom 'Saying Goodbye to Cambridge Again' written by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xu_Zhimo at 1922. Quote from wikipedia:
"To commemorate Xu Zhimo, in July, 2008, a white marble stone has been installed at the back of King's College, University of Cambridge, on which is inscribed a verse from Xu's best-known poem, 'Saying Goodbye to Cambridge Again'."
Since Cambridge is part of a poem, then we can always find a good poem with a sound title. I'd suggest "Crescent Moon" (of Tagore) because of the close relationship: Xu Zhimo also started a group called that name. Also we used "Solar" as artwork theme in Fedora 10.
But this word seems to have been used by another software company, and a perl module(?), etc. I am not sure about the google result. Also it have close relationship with Mid-East, isn't it. India people may have more to say about Tagore.

Here is a translation of that poem:

Very quietly I take my leave As quietly as I came here; Quietly I wave good-bye To the rosy clouds in the western sky. 轻轻的我走了, 正如我轻轻的来; 我轻轻的招手, 作别西天的云彩。
The golden willows by the riverside Are young brides in the setting sun; Their reflections on the shimmering waves Always linger in the depth of my heart. 那河畔的金柳 是夕阳中的新娘 波光里的艳影, 在我的心头荡漾。
The floatingheart growing in the sludge Sways leisurely under the water; In the gentle waves of Cambridge I would be a water plant! 软泥上的青荇, 油油的在水底招摇; 在康河的柔波里, 我甘心做一条水草
That pool under the shade of elm trees Holds not water but the rainbow from the sky; Shattered to pieces among the duckweeds Is the sediment of a rainbow-like dream? 那榆荫下的一潭, 不是清泉,是天上虹 揉碎在浮藻间, 沉淀着彩虹似的梦。
To seek a dream? Just to pole a boat upstream To where the green grass is more verdant; Or to have the boat fully loaded with starlight And sing aloud in the splendour of starlight. 寻梦?撑一支长篙, 向青草更青处漫溯, 满载一船星辉, 在星辉斑斓里放歌
But I cannot sing aloud Quietness is my farewell music; Even summer insects heep silence for me Silent is Cambridge tonight! 但我不能放歌, 悄悄是别离的笙箫; 夏虫也为我沉默, 沉默是今晚的康桥!
Very quietly I take my leave As quietly as I came here; Gently I flick my sleeves Not even a wisp of cloud will I bring away 悄悄的我走了, 正如我悄悄的来; 我挥一挥衣袖, 不带走一片云彩。
Maybe You should discuss it on wiki.fedoraproject.org, not the mailing list?

Hi,
