I would also prefer not to establish too much precedence for non-geographical names. I feel Train should remain a special case (as it was related to the conference location, although not a geographical relation).

We’ve got some good choices in the U* place names (although I’ll need some help with pronunciation, like Bexar)

One of the most important one is missing: Urumqi: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%9Cr%C3%BCmqi . The top 6 should actually not be counted since their Romanized spelling (pinyin) does not start with U.

Jeremy has already addressed the reason for dropping Urumqui. I made similar judgement calls on some of the suggestions not related to geography because I easily found negative connotations for them.

For the other items you refer to, I do see spellings starting with U there in the list we were given. I do not claim to understand the differences in the way those names have been translated into those forms, though. Are you saying those are invalid spellings?


For cities like Urumqi, Ulanqab, Ulanhot, there are no need for the pinyin spelling since the name is following native's language.

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.
