The rules and procedure for naming Neon+1 will be similar to what has happened in the past (see bug 483685 as an example). The name should be alphabetically greater than "O" Preference will be given to "P" names, but no strict rule that others would not be considered. Preference given to names that fit the "moon", "heavenly body gods", or "scientists" themes we've had in the past. This cross-project bugzilla entry will remain open to solicit names, until December 15th to gather suggestions for potential names. The planning council will then meeting and remove any names deemed unsuitable for any reason (as always, the Planning Council has final responsibility for the name). Following the gathering of the list of names in this bugzilla, a community poll will be used to pick top choice. We may have a series of run-off polls, voting until majority achieved. The poll should be opened by in late December or early January with a week of voting allowed. The final decision on the name will be made by Feb 15th at the latest.
Pluto
Eclipse 18
Eclipse 2018.6 All those numbers and names are confusing. I really think the release date is the best indicator.
Some planets/moon names (or just names from Greek mythology): Pluto Phobos Phocus Poseidon Proteus Prospero Scientists/Mathematicians: Ptolemy Planck Pauling Pascal Pythagoras Pavlov Pasteur Pauli And just because it's the name of a volcano in the Azores / tallest point in all of Portugal, and equal to 1 trillionth: Pico (or Piquinho) ---- To bridge the divide between the "use a codename, like we have for over a decade" camp and the "just use a number / release year" camp, we could be go with BOTH the release date and a bracketed codename, eg., * Eclipse 2018.06 (Pico) * Eclipse 2018.09 (Pico.1) * Eclipse 2018.12 (Pico.2) * Eclipse 2019.03 (Pico.3) Personally, I believe we NEED a name (or both a date and a name), because the pre-release milestones for the Qx release (2019) will be released nearly in parallel with the Px.1, Px.2, and Px.3 (where Px = Oxygen+1) maintenance releases, leading to confusion. For example, is "Eclipse 2017.09" the .1 maintenance release of the Eclipse 4.7.1.R-based simrel stream (Oxygen)? Or the M2 milestone for the Eclipse 4.8.0.M2-based stream (Px name TBD)? We'll have this confusion of nearly overlapping releases 3 times a year, going forward: * Oxygen.1 and Px.0.M2 in September 2017 ... both could be called Eclipse 2017.09 * Oxygen.2 and Px.0.M4 in December 2017 ... both could be called Eclipse 2017.12 * Oxygen.3 and Px.0.M6 in March 2018 ... both could be called Eclipse 2018.03 * Px.1 and Qx.0.M2 in September 2018 ... both could be called Eclipse 2018.09 * Px.2 and Qx.0.M4 in December 2018 ... both could be called Eclipse 2018.12 * Px.3 and Qx.0.M6 in March 2019 ... both could be called Eclipse 2019.03
+1 for Pluto, provided we don't get in trouble with Disney lawyers > Personally, I believe we NEED a name (or both a date and a name), because > the pre-release milestones for the Qx release (2019) will be released nearly > in parallel with the Px.1, Px.2, and Px.3 (where Px = Oxygen+1) maintenance > releases, leading to confusion. > Very good point.
+1 to Pluto
Just for clarification, we will solicit names from the community until Jan 20th and than do a community poll (sigh copy paste)
Proton Photon Plasma Proximity Power Particle Pascal Polar Parsec Perihelion Planet :P Protuberance Positron Ptolemy Palladium Pan (Unofficial name for Jupiter XI. Discovered by Nicholson in 1938.) Panstellar Parallax Penrose (Roger) Perseus Phobos (Mars moon) Pion Pioneer Planck Polaris (the North Star) Poseidon (god or unofficial name for Jupiter VIII) Potassium Prime Pulsar Pulse
Pegasus
Pluto Photon Polar
+1 Pluto Photon is not bad, too
+1 Pluto Prometheus (Greek mythology and thanks to Ridley Scott also a flying object in Space)
Psion
Platin or Platinum another element -1 for Polar, it would sound a bit too much like PolarSys IMHO.
After Neon and Oxygen, why not keep the chemistry train going? Plasticity (capacity of a substance to be molded or altered) Phosphorus (symbol is P, so could be Eclipse P)
- Pandora (moon of Saturn) - Phoebe (moon of Saturn) - Pleiades (brightest open cluster of stars in the sky) - Polygon - Phonon (vibrational modes in a crystal lattice)
(In reply to Fred Bricon from comment #5) > +1 for Pluto, provided we don't get in trouble with Disney lawyers Can't wait to see an Eclipse splashscreen featuring Disney's Pluto :D
Pi If we still had the Eclipse 3.x release line, in 2018 we would have had Eclipse 3.14.
I have a preference for those: - Prion - Planck - Pluto - Prometheus

Proxima (Centauri)
Agree with some comments I like the idea to have a name and I'm also ok with the fact that people outside the community is not aware of this name. So I would prefer to have internal name (hidden or not and the community can use it because it is more fancy) : +1 Pluto and the release year : Pluto.2018
Ten years ago Pluto's status was "downgraded" because it was no longer leading its competitors. Ouch :P
As a user of eclipse, developing with multiple versions of eclipse, the most important thing to me is the version. The year is totally irrelevant. For names, I prefer either one of Pascal Pluto
(In reply to Florin Herinean from comment #24) > As a user of eclipse, developing with multiple versions of eclipse, the most > important thing to me is the version. > > The year is totally irrelevant. The year would be the version. You could keep track just like you do now, but also realize how old a particular version was.
+1 Photon After the Eclipse comes the light
Pluto would make Neil Degrasse Tyson demote the release to a dwarf release. Do we really want that? I do! I actually prefer Phobos, it has a nice BFG ring to it. Planck is pretty cool, simple and rolls off the tongue. It is also good to show that eclipse is trying to lean up. Perseids could be a great timing opportunity as the perseid showers would be starting around the time of the release. // --- fun stuff below --- How about some star trek? Eclipse: Phasor Eclipse: Picard Better than the star wars Eclipse: Phantom Menace
Created attachment 266273 [details] Eclipse pluto branding Here is a quick mock up of what eclipse pluto would look like.
Created attachment 266287 [details] Eclipse perseids splash here's how the Eclipse perseids splash screen could look like
(In reply to Matthias Sohn from comment #29) > Created attachment 266287 [details] > Eclipse perseids splash > > here's how the Eclipse perseids splash screen could look like That is gorgeous.
1. Choose any code name. 2. Don't considered release date/year as version number(as in Ubuntu) 3. Everything needs to be displayed on splash screen like in the format: <Code Name><saparator><Version Number><saparator><Release date> <Code Name> = ?|<Selected by community or empty> <saparator> = :|.|*| or good looking icons like filled square, circle, diamond etc <Version Number> = Short | Long ex; 4.6.0 or 4.6.0.v20160606-1100 (Platform plugin version> <Release date> = ? | If not used long version number then, Released on 2016/06/24 | Released on 24th June 2016
IMHO a simple name is easier to handle than a technically correct release/version number. You can still add that number to the release as a reference though. +1 for: * Photon * Pluto

For example (I chose Photon as codename here): * Eclipse 18 (Photon) * Eclipse 18.1 (Photon.1) * Eclipse 18.2 (Photon.2) * Eclipse 18.3 (Photon.3) So the Oxygen service releases could be called * Eclipse 17.1 (Oxygen.1) * Eclipse 17.2 (Oxygen.2) * Eclipse 17.3 (Oxygen.3) Why not 2018.06, 2018.06.1, etc? The 20 prefix will be redundant (for the next 82 years at least ;) ) and since we only have one mayor release per year (not two like Ubuntu) the month doesn't matter either. IMHO, a user does not care about the month in which the mayor or service release was published, she/he just wants a consistent and easy to grasp numbering system. Just for illustrative purposes, compare the following two conversations: A: "Hey, I have a problem with Eclipse?" B: "OK, which version are you using?" A: "Mars" B: "Oh, which version was that? Was that last year's release?" C: "Hey, I have a problem with Eclipse?" D: "OK, which version are you using?" C: "15" D: "Ah, that's almost two years old. Did you try updating?"
(In reply to Frederic Gurr from comment #34) > * Eclipse 18 (Photon) > * Eclipse 18.1 (Photon.1) > * Eclipse 18.2 (Photon.2) > * Eclipse 18.3 (Photon.3) I really like this scheme!
+1 for Eclipse Pluto (Pluto the (dwarf) planet, not the dog from Disney ;-)) Or: Eclipse Prometheus (after one of Saturn's moons)
Idea: Penumbra Links: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umbra,_penumbra_and_antumbra#Penumbra https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/penumbra http://www.mreclipse.com/Special/LEprimer.html Also: +1 Phobos
-1 for Ptolemy as it's already a well established project: http://ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu

I like it too! As for the name, +1 for: - Photon - Plasma - Parsec - Prime - Pulsar - Pulse
+1 Photon
Did I miss the voting? BTW, +1 Phobos :)
+1 for Pulse
+1 for Pulsar. And Oxygen+1+1 could be Quasar. Also, +1 for: Plasma Pulse
+1 Pandora
Hey all, sorry for the delay but finally got around to vetting the initial list of names and got it down to 20: http://civs.cs.cornell.edu/cgi-bin/vote.pl?id=E_857d2f9744a2ea31&akey=fc8b3994ee373613 I eliminated names based on any obvious trademark issues or conflicts with existing Eclipse project names (ecosystem wide). Please take the time to vote. I will announce the poll publicly tomorrow. The poll ends Feb 8th 12:00pm ET.

Imho "Pi" might not be a good choice because it might make people think that that version is specifically only for the raspberry pi architecture.

Markus, it simply does vote per IP so I'm guessing the way networking is setup at work is your issue. It's not the most ideal setup but maybe you can vote when you get home or via your phone.
This set up means one vote per company depending on their network setup. :( Patrick Tasse and I cannot vote because of this set up.
(In reply to Matthew Khouzam from comment #50) > This set up means one vote per company depending on their network setup. :( > > Patrick Tasse and I cannot vote because of this set up. It's not ideal but hopefully voting from home works. I hesitate of going back to our old way of voting (vs the current Condorcet style setup).
Voting is over, top 3 results are: 1. Pluto (Condorcet winner: wins contests with all other choices) 2. Photon loses to Pluto by 137–95 3. Phobos loses to Pluto by 147–68, loses to Photon by 129–80 Vetting of the names will happen here: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=511933 Thanks everyone who voted!
via https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=511933#c4 "I am happy to announce that the name "Eclipse Photon" has been approved for use as the 2018 simultaneous release name." Thanks for everyone who participated in the process!

Great, what about the 2019 release, is it no longer going to have a name like that?
(In reply to Werner Keil from comment #54) > Great, what about the 2019 release, is it no longer going to have a name > like that? There's been some lengthy discussion about the future releases' names. https://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/eclipse.org-planning-council/msg03039.html https://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/eclipse.org-planning-council/msg03033.html There has not been consensus yet, however.
I'm going to go ahead and suggest Eclipse Quasar, Eclipse Quark, Eclipse Quantum and Eqlipse right away. To get them out of the way, I really like Quadrature: * it sounds serious * it has to do with the moon and sun's position, it plays well with eclipse * it refers to something cyclical like a release * the splash screen will look nice with lots of right angles
(In reply to Matthew Khouzam from comment #56) > I'm going to go ahead and suggest Eclipse Quasar, Eclipse Quark, Eclipse > Quantum and Eqlipse right away. I like Quantum. Sounds familiar and cool.

Sounds familiar and cool. Firefox had a release named Quantum which was well-received and won a lot of people back from Chrome. Perhaps we can start a trend :)

Last comment from Melanie on bug 532220 seems to make it pretty clear that while there is still room for discussion about minor details, there won't be release specific names any more. So unless I'm mistaken, not need to brainstorm about a Q* something name, it won't be used.
