Fedora naming proposal

That makes perfect sense! Matching the release number with the atomic number is a great idea.

So, here's my updated name suggestions:

Fedora 18 Agile Argon

Fedora 19 Perfect Potassium

Why do you want to start at 1? If this idea is taken, that would be

best to add the offset, and directly start at Argon for F18 or

Potassium for F19.
Interesting ! I like it.Fedora release number = Atomic number of the elementElement name = Fedora name
So no voting.

While there are many pros and cons to this scheme, let me remind
people that we already used Sulpher, and it wasn't the most popular of
release names.

I'd like to avoid alliteration, if possible, that's widely identified
with Ubuntu, it's sort of their "shtick" if you will.

Why are you adding Agile and Perfect to the front of the names? It
makes it sound like some other distribution. Why not just Argon or
Potassium?

Well, since Sulpher has an atomic number of 16 we won't be using it again since we are starting at Atomic number 18 Argon. *I am fine with dropping the alliteration, I as only adding it to keep the current two part name like "Beefy Miracle". *I can see how it resembles other distros, so I am cool with just sticking with the Periodic table of elements. *There will end up being some really awesome names coming up like Rubidium, and Caesium later on.*

The proposal, if it were adopted, would start at Fedora 19 at earliest.

We will still need to do legal clearance on the names, which will screw
up the numbering if you run into one that isn't available. It's also
not something we can do very far in advance - the trademark registers
change all the time, so we need to do our clearances at a point in time
that is relatively close to when we actually begin to use the name.

Yep, that's not good idea to match release number to atomic number
as I'd say a lot are clear (nobody is going to call the product
Ununbium) but Cobalt - cool name! Tungsten is already used...). So it
will lead to gaps and inconsistency.

So, with that concern being valid, what if we used the Periodic Table of Elements as a "selection pool" and we let the Fedora Community vote on which element to choose for the next release name? *This gives us a large pool of non-offending names to choose from, but still letting the community choose which name to use.
