Open Stack

I don’t think we want to start changing the rules at this point. For one thing, we have a lot of automation built up around the idea that our release names come alphabetically, so we really do need to choose something that starts with U this time around. I would rather we choose something that naturally starts with U, rather than flipping the first two letters of some other words that have U in them.

Based on other feedback in this thread, we have dropped some of the proposed names so the list of candidates is now:

乌苏里江 Ussuri https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ussuri_River (the name is shared among Mongolian/Manchu/Russian; this is a common Latin-alphabet transcription of the name)
乌兰察布市 Ulanqab https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulanqab (the name is in Mongolian; this is a common Latin-alphabet transcription of the name)
乌兰浩特市 Ulanhot https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulanhot (the name is in Mongolian; this is a common Latin-alphabet transcription of the name)
乌兰苏海组 Ulansu (Ulansu sea) (the name is in Mongolian)
乌拉特中旗 Urad https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urad_Middle_Banner (the name is in Mongolian; this is a common Latin-alphabet transcription of the name)
东/西乌珠穆沁旗 Ujimqin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ujimqin (the name is in Mongolian; this is a common Latin-alphabet transcription of the name)
Ula "Miocene Baogeda Ula" (the name is in Mongolian)
Uma http://www.fallingrain.com/world/CH/20/Uma.html
Unicorn
Urban
Unique
Umpire
Utopia
umbrella
ultimate

Unless we hear more feedback that those are invalid or inadequate by the end of the week, we will make up the poll using those names.

Thanks,
Doug

> Every OpenStack development cycle and release has a code-name. As with everything we do, the process of choosing the name is open and based on input from communty members. The name critera are described in [1], and this time around we were looking for names starting with U associated with China. With some extra assistance from local community members (thank you to everyone who helped!), we have a list of candidate names that will go into the poll. Below is a subset of the names propsed, including those that meet the standard criteria and some of the suggestions that do not. Before we start the poll, the process calls for us to provide a period of 1 week so that any names removed from the proposals can be discussed and any last-minute objections can be raised. We will start the poll next week using this list, including any modifications based on that discussion.
