Is there are reason we are restricting the names to begin with 'H'?  Seems
like finding a great name should be top priority?

   Dave Williams, Emperor Extraordinaire, as was my action item from the 
eclipsecon PC meeting, I ran the doodle poll, see:

http://www.doodle.com/7vxa2bzzcydtmyvq

  using the moon names that were in the PC meeting notes.

  This generated a bunch of discussion and a bug was opened to capture 
all this great back and forth:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=271054

   So, where do we go from here?

   I suggest:

     - we go with a name that starts with H.
     - we change the current theme to scientists (even though there are 
lots of moons in the solar system, there seems to be a desire to change 
the theme....)
     - I will grab a bunch of H scientists names and send em out and 
solicit more H names from the community.  Give 10 days for people to 
respond.
     - rerun doodle pool with the pool of H names.

    Ok?
