stands for Grizzly</a></h3>
<p>Results of the naming poll for next OpenStack release are
in, and the G release will be named “<strong>Grizzly</strong>“.
The regular poll selected “Gazelle” (35 votes), with
“Gilroy” (27 votes) being a close second. But the Grizzly
revolt poll showed overwhelming support for the “Grizzly”
name (88 votes) rather than going with the results of the
regular poll (46 votes).</p>
<p>The <em>Waldon exception</em> (accepting elements of the
state/country flag in addition to city/county names) will
be added to our naming rules for future naming contests <img
