Hello Everyone,
We have the final name selected for the OpenStack next release name. Its "OpenStack Zed".
As per the release name criteria[1], selection of release name has gone through three steps:
Step1: Name nomination from community members[2].
Step2: TC voted on the nominated names[3].
Step3: Trademark checks by Foundation on winners from TC votes. In trademark check, “Zed” is finalized as the best bet for this release.
Thanks community members for participating in name nomination, TC to vote and Foundation for performing the trademark checks.

hi there, thanks for the update
I have a stupid, please excuse me if it was written already in some previous message: the poll results at [3] suggest that most voted were:
1. Zen - after Yoga, you should get Zen) (Not defeated in any contest vs. another choice) 2. Zombie - an undead 3. Zeta , loses to Zombie - an undead by 5–2 4. Zed , loses to Zombie - an undead by 4–1
did 1,2,3 fail the trademark checks?
Yes, as per the trademark checks done by the Foundation, Zed is the best choice.
Has this passed a cultural check as well? YMMV, but a few generations will immediately associate this name with a not so flattering scene [4] from the timeless classic motion picture named Pulp Fiction. 4: https://youtu.be/5lL1ypndnWA
We did check on ML and asked all the community members for the culture or historical objection on proposed names before election and it seems no objection. - https://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-discuss/2022-January/026868.... -gmann
