Open Stack

Hello Monty,

Has the third candidate for our next release name 'Meiji' been 
determined and finalized?

I know we are following open and relevant procedures (e.g., public 
polls) to determine our next release name, but
I am asking it because I think 'Meiji' as our next release name would 
become a serious hot potato, as Clint shared one URL.

(Clint, Thank you for finding some materials related to this issue.)


With many thanks,

/Ian
