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.
乌镇镇 [GR]:Ujenn [PY]:Wuzhen https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wuzhen https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wuzhen 温州市 [GR]:Uanjou [PY]:Wenzhou https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wenzhou https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wenzhou 乌衣巷 [GR]:Ui [PY]:Wuyi https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wuyi_Lane https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wuyi_Lane 温岭市 [GR]:Uanliing [PY]:Wenling https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wenling https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wenling 威海市 [GR]:Ueihae [PY]:Weihai https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weihai https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weihai 微山湖 [GR]:Ueishan [PY]:Weishan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nansi_Lake https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nansi_Lake
For the above options, it's not common to use [GR] system, in Shanghai (or almost entire China area). So if we like to reduce confusion and unnecessary arguments also to get recognized by audiences (as width as we can), I don't think these are good choices.
Ok, based on your input and Howard’s I will just drop these options from the proposed list.
As for all below geographic options, most of them originally from different languages like Mongolian or Russian, so generally speaking, most people won't use Pingyi system for that name. And I don't think it helps to put it's Pinyin on top too.
Are you saying we should not include any of these names either, or just that when we present the poll we should not include the Pinyin spelling?
乌苏里江 Ussri https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ussuri_River 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. Pinyin would be Wūsūlǐ)
I think this might be my fault here. because it's *Ussuri*! so let's s/Ussri/Ussuir/ (bad Rico! bad!)
I will update the wiki page and ensure this is correct in the poll.
