Re: [science-iwg] [EXTERNAL] Re: Science Fall Release
To open yet another can of worms: its always awkward and confusing when a “QN" release ends up coming out in QN+1 . A code name is a way to avoid this; I’d like to see “Q3 Release” jettisoned ASAP. 

Chemical elements would be a great theme, I think, although there’s no reason to restrict it to noble gasses. The first release could be “Hydrogen”; that gives us about 118 names before we run out.

Yes, our development target should be Neon.  If a project can't ship on Neon, it can still be a part of the Science 2016 Q3 Release.

I like the idea of something that begins with an A, but I'm concerned that using an element for the science release will cause unnecessary confusion.

Actually, I was meaning that our development target should be on Neon not Mars as Philip brought up.

But, now that you mention it, I was going to suggest that we call our Q3 release Argon since it is the next noble gas after Neon. "Just a stable... just bigger!" ;-)

Figured that might be a little too nerdy, even for this crowd.

I think this is an interesting idea, but in the near term I've gone with Science 2016 Q3 Release, see https://wiki.eclipse.org/Science_WG/2016_Q3_Release.

It is helpful if the names have a natural ordering, which is typically alphabetical.  Also, short is good.

BTW - Having a Kepler release of Eclipse caused a certain amount of confusion for Kepler the workflow tool (http://kepler-project.org) that uses Ptolemy II as its execution engine.  There is also the Kepler Apache project for websites.

Personally, as I've worked on the Ptolemy project for many years, I dread the day when there is the Ptolemy version Eclipse.

Maybe we should name things after places near Ottawa because that is where the Eclipse Foundation is located: Ambleside, Britannia, Centretown, Gatineau, Glebe, Hull, Kanata, Nepean, Rideau... (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_neighbourhoods_in_Ottawa)

(April Fools!)

Seriously though, having names that are more compelling than Science 2016 Q3 Release would be good ...

At OpenChrom, each release is named after a famous chemists, physicist. Maybe, we could use scientific breakthroughs/insights, like: moonshot, gravitation, electricity ...

Just a thougt ...

Best,

BTW - I have a slight preference for "Science Autumn 2016 Release" because I prefer "Autumn" over "Fall".   If anyone feels strongly, we could discuss this.

I have a slight preference for naming conventions that do not assume that eveyone is in the northern hemisphere (<grin>). How about somethig like "Science 2016 Q3 release"? Not a lot better, I know.
