I suspect that S-Bahn may be a protected (copyright, trademark, whatever) name. Did you have a chance to check it?<div class="gmail-HOEnZb"><div class="gmail-h5"><br>

Greetings all,<br>
<br>
It is time again to cast your vote for the naming of the S Release. This time<br>
is little different as we've decided to use a public polling option over per<br>
user private URLs for voting. This means, everybody should proceed to use the<br>
following URL to cast their vote:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://civs.cs.cornell.edu/cgi-bin/vote.pl?id=E_40b95cb2be3fcdf1&akey=8cfdc1f5df5fe4d3" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://civs.cs.cornell.edu/c<wbr>gi-bin/vote.pl?id=E_40b95cb2be<wbr>3fcdf1&akey=8cfdc1f5df5fe4d3</a><br>
<br>
Because this is a public poll, results will currently be only viewable by myself<br>
until the poll closes. Once closed, I'll post the URL making the results<br>
viewable to everybody. This was done to avoid everybody seeing the results while<br>
the public poll is running.<br>
<br>
The poll will officially end on 2018-03-21 23:59:59[1], and results will be<br>
posted shortly after.<br>

<br>
According to the Release Naming Process, this poll is to determine the<br>
community preferences for the name of the R release of OpenStack. It is<br>
possible that the top choice is not viable for legal reasons, so the second or<br>
later community preference could wind up being the name.<br>
<br>
Release Name Criteria<br>
<br>
Each release name must start with the letter of the ISO basic Latin alphabet<br>
following the initial letter of the previous release, starting with the<br>
initial release of "Austin". After "Z", the next name should start with<br>
"A" again.<br>
<br>
The name must be composed only of the 26 characters of the ISO basic Latin<br>
alphabet. Names which can be transliterated into this character set are also<br>
acceptable.<br>
<br>
The name must refer to the physical or human geography of the region<br>
encompassing the location of the OpenStack design summit for the<br>
corresponding release. The exact boundaries of the geographic region under<br>
consideration must be declared before the opening of nominations, as part of<br>
the initiation of the selection process.<br>
<br>
The name must be a single word with a maximum of 10 characters. Words that<br>
describe the feature should not be included, so "Foo City" or "Foo Peak"<br>
would both be eligible as "Foo".<br>
<br>
Names which do not meet these criteria but otherwise sound really cool<br>
should be added to a separate section of the wiki page and the TC may make<br>
an exception for one or more of them to be considered in the Condorcet poll.<br>
The naming official is responsible for presenting the list of exceptional<br>
names for consideration to the TC before the poll opens.<br>
<br>
Exact Geographic Region<br>
<br>
The Geographic Region from where names for the S release will come is Berlin<br>
<br>
