After discussion in this ML and in irc [1], I will finalize the U release name candidate list [2] and will go forward to create a public poll at 2019-08-12. Here is finalized name list from etherpad:

So thanks to all who help with propose names, provide solutions or join discussions. And big thanks for Doug who put a significant amount of effort on this.
Hi, I object to the omission of University (which I thought, based on the previous email, had been determined to have meet the criteria). If I had known there would be a followup conversation, I would have participated. I still do believe that it meets all of the criteria. In particular, it meets this: * The name must refer to the physical or human geography of the region encompassing the location of the OpenStack summit for the corresponding release. It is short for "University of Shanghai for Science and Technology", which is a place in Shanghai. Here is their website: http://en.usst.edu.cn/ Moreover, it met the criteria *before* it was enlarged to include all of China. The subtext of this name is that Shanghai is famous for its Universities, and it has a lot of them. Wikipedia lists 36. The most famous of which is Fudan -- the first institution of higher education to be founded by a Chinese person. It is, in short, a name to honor the unique qualities of our host city. It deserves to be considered. -Jim
