Written on May 4th, 2010 at 19:37 pm by chia

A while ago, Fedora developers started accepting name suggestions for the next release, Fedora 14. And this list of all the suggested names have been cut down to six selected ones. So, now Fedora 14 could be named after a Mountain, Brewery, Scientist, Building etc. Here are the six names selected for the final naming of Fedora 14 along with their "is a" relation with the name Goddard.

Names "is a..."
Mitikas

Goddard is a peak so is Mitikas.
Fytnargin Goddard is a mountain with elevation 4134m and so is Fytnargin in Russia
Laughlin Robert Goddard was a professor of physics, and so is Robert Laughlin. He was awarded the 1998 Nobel Prize in physics for his explanation of the fractional quantum Hall effect. Moreover he argues for emergence which is a concept that says "The whole is more than the sum of its parts". Fedora is more than a sum of softwares.
Ventnor Goddard is a brewery on the Isle of Wight as is Ventnor.
Hoppin Goddard is a building on Brown University AND so is Hoppin.
Laramie Goddard is a mountain and so is Laramie.

So, go ahead and vote for your favourite name.
