Release Naming
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
Each OpenStack development cycle has a code-name that is
|
|
proposed and chosen by the community. This name is frequently used in
|
|
preference to version numbers to refer to the release at the end of
|
|
the cycle. The process of choosing the name should be an enjoyable
|
|
activity for the community to mark the software development cycle, and
|
|
the name itself should be fun to use.
|
|
|
|
Because the name will become associated with OpenStack, and a
|
|
particular release, the process should consider potential issues of
|
|
trademark.
|
|
|
|
Release Naming Process
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
#. Anyone may propose a name that matches the `Release Name
|
|
Criteria`_. Proposed names should be added to a page on the
|
|
OpenStack wiki.
|
|
|
|
#. A Condorcet election is held to rank the names. The electorate will be
|
|
Technical Committee, and the poll should be run in a manner that allows
|
|
members of the community to see what each TC member voted for.
|
|
|
|
#. The Foundation will perform a trademark check on the winning name.
|
|
If there is a trademark conflict, then the Foundation will proceed
|
|
down the ranked list of Condorcet results until a name without a
|
|
trademark conflict is found. This will be the selected name.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Release Name Criteria
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
The following rules are designed to provide some consistency in the
|
|
pattern used to select release names, provide a fun challenge in
|
|
finding names that meet the criteria, and prevent unwieldy names from
|
|
being chosen.
|
|
|
|
#. Each release name must start with the letter of the ISO basic Latin
|
|
alphabet following the initial letter of the previous release,
|
|
starting with the initial release of "Austin". After "Z", the next
|
|
name should start with "A" again.
|
|
|
|
#. The name must be composed only of the 26 characters of the ISO
|
|
basic Latin alphabet. Names which can be transliterated into this
|
|
character set are also acceptable.
|
|
|
|
#. The name must be a single word with a maximum length of 10 characters.
