Release naming scheme #22

Closed pipermerriam closed 3 years ago

pipermerriam commented 6 years ago

What is wrong?

But names are hard!

How can it be fixed

I suggest we continue from the origins of the name "Trinity" and name our releases after badass women. Maybe we can use this tread to collect some names?

This is also full of names:

If the general theme is "badass women", does Olga of Kiev fit?.. (Other than the feat linked, also has a tie to Constantinople.)

pipermerriam commented 5 years ago

The Drevlians sent twenty of their best men to persuade Olga to marry their Prince Mal and give up her rule of Kievan Rus'. She had them buried alive. Then she sent word to Prince Mal that she accepted the proposal, but required their most distinguished men to accompany her on the journey in order for her people to accept the offer of marriage. The Drevlians sent the best men who governed their land. Upon their arrival, she offered them a warm welcome and an invitation to clean up after their long journey in a bathhouse. After they entered, she locked the doors and set fire to the building, burning them alive.

Badass and a little terrifying :heart: :+1:

Hah, well I like the Constantinople connection, and would love to use a suggestion from veox, since he contributed so much to the release. But... I am not keen to honor someone who committed heinous war crimes. Any other suggestions, @veox ?

veox commented 5 years ago

@carver Heh, yeah, I thought that "bad" is not exactly "badass". q:D

I know of no one else off the top of my head. I'll take a look, but let that not stop you from proceeding as planned.

cburgdorf commented 5 years ago

I'd suggest https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malala_Yousafzai :)

:+1: on the Constantinople connection.

veox commented 5 years ago

Well, of women from times when Constantinople was no longer Byzantium and not yet Istanbul - from 330 to 1453, according to Wikipedia (see disambiguation at top), - Empress Theodora is the only other I could find (so far).

In particular, the section on the Nika riots, with a speech that can be TL;DR'ed as "HODL".

I'm reasonably sure there's not that many woman figures be found in (ancient) history (as a percentage of total); and anything that can be found will necessarily be spectacular in one way or another - quite likely with a bit of violence involved. (There will always be more cathedrals built than destroyed, so the latter are more likely to be "out of the ordinary.")

How much any of that is fact... Who knows?.. That's one reason to stick to more modern times.

veox commented 5 years ago

That said...

and would love to use a suggestion from veox, since he contributed so much to the release

I would argue "no, I didn't", and y'all contributed much more. So - no need to use these suggestions at all; they're just that, suggestions. ^_^

carver commented 5 years ago

Turns out I had to pick a name before I saw ET, but, we may have to keep Empress Theodora in our pocket for next time. :)

Many (all?) rulers from the time will have to people put to death, but hopefully not all of them have burned/buried their enemies alive.

the Nika riots, with a speech that can be TL;DR'ed as "HODL".

More near-contemporary photos are available on Wikimedia; or historical images all-around, with unstated copyright status (but they do feature microscopes!).

Is there a single-page list of names that have already been used?..

It's not on a single page but all releases are listed (with pagination) here: https://github.com/ethereum/trinity/releases

@veox I took your Lynn Margulis suggestion for the latest release https://github.com/ethereum/trinity/releases/tag/v0.1.0-alpha.36

That was wise choice. The topic of Rus' is quite complex and you would bring more pain to your release naming than benefits :D Olga of Kyiv was a regent on behalf of their son Svyatoslav and what she did to Drevlians wasn't just because she was bad, Drevlians killed her husband Igor and she "paid back" with the same coin to them.
