Proposal for release names #21

Closed MartinHinz closed 7 years ago

MartinHinz commented 7 years ago

For the release names, how about learning from the successful (SpaceX) and naming the releases after the ships from the Culture novels?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_spacecraft_in_the_Culture_series

Some examples:

Of Course I Still Love You
Kiss My Ass Irregular Apocalypse
The Hand of God 137 Ultimate Ship The Second The Precise Nature Of The Catastrophe Just Read the Instructions

Nice! I suggest to use the Dumb Ways to Die character list. It's maybe more appropriate than spaceships ;-)

http://dumbway2sdie.wikia.com/wiki/Characters

Numpty Hapless Pillock Dippy Dummkopf ...

MartinHinz commented 7 years ago

Nothing wrong with spaceships!

But alternatively (Clemens and I discussed about possible copyright issues), the first names of directors of zombie movies:

Burr (Stolz und Vorurteil und Zombies) Yeon (Seoul Station) Shinsuke (I am a Hero) Kyle (Night of the Living Deb) Stanton (Navy Seals vs. Zombies) Dominik (Attack of the Lederhosenzombies) Rastislav (Socialistický Zombi Mord)

just to mention some, and of course

Sam (The Evil Dead)

as well as

Peter (Braindead)

see https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zombiefilm

What about something more classical? At the moment, I read Harris Cicero-book "Titan", so "O tempore, o mores" springs to my mind.

MartinHinz commented 7 years ago

Which is a nice idea, but we have to think about the future. What for v 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 2.0, 2.1...? :-)

As a side note: I'm really glad, that we're finally talking about the important issues.

MartinHinz commented 7 years ago

He, come on, it is important for you fame in the posterity! What is the name with which you want to become famous? Cui bono, Dummkopf or Kiss my Ass?

Side note: I think one aspect why this group works is that we have an identity token due to its name. Do not ignore the power of a true name. Remember YHWH.

nmueller18 commented 7 years ago

I also very much liked Christoph's idea of famous archaeologists (preferable female) or important cemeteries.

MartinHinz commented 7 years ago

+1 for the cemeteries

nothing against archaeologists, especially not female, but the cemeteries are much more related.

So mortAAR 1.0 Odagsen?

nmueller18 commented 7 years ago

+1 from me for mortAAR 1.0 Odagsen

nmueller18 commented 7 years ago

Good point. I suggest "Jastorf" for mortAAR 2.0.

MartinHinz commented 7 years ago

Suggestion was a tribute to Christoph, fine with something Iron Age for 2.0 (maybe a tribute to Nils, eg. 'Schirndorf').

quassinja commented 7 years ago

Decided to Odagsen, closed.
