This is definitely an exciting day for us Fedora Fans/Users/Programmers! I am downloading the MAC-PPC edition of FC6 all day today on my day off from work. I love the name ZOD, very cool, and a nice reference to General Zod of Superman lore. Now here are names that I hope will be considered for the upcoming releases. Star Trek turned 40 this year so I propose the name for Fedora Core 7 to be Spock. I will write to startrek.com and trektoday.com and the Trek BBS if that is okay to be used since it won't be a name that can be sold. Along with the Spock name, I want to encourage programmers who know how to create themes to create an "LCARS" theme that looks a lot like a computer display on board the Enterprise-D as shown in ST-TNG complete with animated icons and/or panels.
Here are names I hope will be considered for FC8 through FC10. Athena, a Greek Goddess, would make an appealing name for FC8. FC9 should be named either Brando, Kurtz, Vito, Jules, Vega, Tarantino, Starbuck, Baltar, Pryor, Kennedy, or Boston.
In honor of Linus Torvalds' work on the Linux kernel, Fedora Core 10 will be known as "Hattu," which is Finnish for Hat. It will also honor my Finnish roots as well, half of my ancestors/family comes from Finland so I insist on this name as well. The other half being Irish American, my ancestors came from Ireland.
That's not really how the naming works; there are links between each set of names...
